That's like saying Shakespeare knew about concurrent programming because he used the word "thread". Let's see a usage of "introvert" before Jung that has anything to do with personality types. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22introvert%22&tbs=bks:1,cdr:1,cd_min:1600,cd_max:1900&lr=lang_en http://www.google.com/search?q=%22introvert%22&tbs=bks:1...

You'd do better with "introverted" or "introversion" with some terms excluded to filter out some of the results. Wordsworth, "The Excursion", 1814: --Nor deem that his mild presence was a weight That pressed upon his brother's house; for books Were ready comrades whom he could not tire; Of whose society the blameless Man Was never satiate. Their familiar voice, Even to old age, with unabated charm Beguiled his leisure hours; refreshed his thoughts; Beyond its natural elevation raised His __introverted__ spirit; and bestowed Upon his life an outward dignity Which all acknowledged. The dark winter night, The stormy day, each had its own resource; Song of the muses, sage historic tale, Science severe, or word of holy Writ Announcing immortality and joy To the assembled spirits of just men Made perfect, and from injury secure. --Thus soothed at home, thus busy in the field, To no perverse suspicion he gave way, No languor, peevishness, nor vain complaint: And they, who were about him, did not fail In reverence, or in courtesy; they prized His gentle manners: and his peaceful smiles, The gleams of his slow-varying countenance, Were met with answering sympathy and love.
