If by 'shy', you refer to being afraid of people then that isn't type related; fear has more to do with upbringing and negative experiences - or a psychological condition. If you're referring to not wanting to engage with people unless you're prepared or ready then that's indeed an Ij-characteristic. Ijs, who are prepared such as in work environments, don't usually appear that 'shy'. Unfortunately, many on this site, associate the term 'I' with shyness when it refers to how ones dominant processes are referenced. Ijs can be uneasy about the potential consequences in meeting certain important (to them) people because they don't know what to expect but so-called extroverts would likely have the same angst. People do drain Ijs after prolonged exposure but this is an entirely different condition.
