How have the Yazidis able to exist for such a long time without adapting to become a high-IQ society like Jews? Why were they not killed off or converted centuries ago? Did they have to pay the infidel tax?
They are the descendants of the Chaldeans, a priest/sorcerer class of the Babylonians.
They still worship Satan to this day.

They were never prohibited from farming or working.

Because despite what you might read from a Shariah handbook, Medieval Middle Eastern society didn't actually work like that. The majority of Islamic regimes in the region formed alliances with the aristocratic and mercantile nobility in order to maintain a functional bureaucracy, and actual AllahSnackbar types that took purging infidels and heretics seriously were pretty easily replaced if they weren't absolutely lucky enough to have overwhelming (or independent) military and financial backing.
It also helped that religious zealotry in the Middle East tended to be about some form of self-segregation as opposed to dominating sacred spaces like in Europe.

No, they follow this weird syncretic mix of Islam and Zoroastrianism.
