This is interesting. Well, as an INTP I guess I'm low on the income charts as a graphic designer. I like my profession, but most often jobs don't pay well in Florida. Just for the (INTP) record, I have made more in the past. Once I made about 75K for about two years. It just depended on how much pressure I wanted to take on. I'm also a mother, and a wife, with a family to contend with. I could take on an art directors position and of course I'd make more, but I'll find myself fighting traffic in a city of a million people, in my new office slaving over the next great concept I came up with, while everyone slipped out the door at 4:30 before the cleaning crew comes in. Also, say if I crossed the border to Georgia, I would make more, about 50 -60. I don't think these statistics can account for some of these factors, except if INTP's tend to prefer a balance in life, and also I am a female in the picture here. We get paid worse and passed over positions to the men. In any case, the good news is, I wrote three books on the side and published them while I worked full time. The books are a testament to me, and doing something for myself - not for anyone else which perhaps is a clue to the INTP personality - that in some cases, we feel under appreciated, and value our own ideals, and would rather work for ourselves, than make more money for someone else.
