Is Shyness Type Related?

[717495]

IP types are most at risk of being considered shy. IJ types often lack social initiative but aren't hessistant to assert themselves.

I agree with this, and I think introverts are more socially introverted on average. I think Fe types will try to be more socially extroverted. So you can peg an ISFp as shy when younger, but then grow out its Fe side and not necessarily become a lot more initiating, but more social and expressive.

I think it has to do with quadra values...merry types are shy around people they don't understand, serious types are shy around people they don't know, etc

Introverts, Intuitives and Thinkers would be more shy than Extraverts, Sensors and Feelers, in general.

=> ILI (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, IP, serious)?

Makes sense with Fe-PoLR, although shyness can be overcome.
