Are people "intellectually humble" or just more humble in general?
Many intellectual people use their intelligence and authority as a coping mechanism for poor social skills or low self esteem. As a manager + systems architect, I've worked with a lot of people who almost have PTSD from dealing with the petty tyrants in our industry, and I've been told that academia is much worse.
If you want to foster shoshin, just listen more than you speak. I've got two decades of experience and my third year interns teach me cool things all the time.
