It is worth noting that that paper shows that IQ never stops mattering but it does stop mattering as much after the 130s, and personality traits become much more important, which is also somewhat true for scientific achievement.
Based on that link, I was a little surprised that openness decreases income. Considering its correlation with crystallized knowledge, I would have expected no effect or a positive one.
If you broke it down by occupation, I’d guess the effect is coming from Openness driving people to careers that are paid less in cash and more in novelty or thinking.

thanks. +4SD earned 15-20% more. That’s quite a lot.
