INTJ (5w4)
Mary Anning personality type is INTJ, as opposed to INTJ as the main type for this biography, as the last biography I read was about an INTJ. I couldn’t help but notice how Anning differed from the other INTJ biographies I’ve read in the sense that she was so much more than just an expert on invertebrates. She was also an ardent supporter of gender equality, and when she died in bed in 1847, her will declared that all of her belongings were to be divided equally among the women in the family.
Anning’s life was full of many hardships, but she persevered to become one of the greatest paleontologists in history. Her passion for fossils began in childhood when she went digging for shells with her brothers, and she quickly became an expert at identifying them. Her interest in fossils was further fueled by her interest in geology, which she became knowledgeable about at an early age. She also had a strong interest in science in general, which was rare for women at the time. She especially loved the study of astronomy, but her work in this subject was largely forgotten after her death.
Anning was born on May 21, 1799, in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, the daughter of Richard and Mary Moore Anning. The Annings had nearly ten children, but only Mary and her elder brother Joseph survived to adulthood. On August 19, 1800, Anning narrowly escaped death during a lightening storm. She was one of four people who found shelter under an elm tree in Rack Field near Lyme Regis. Only Anning survived when the tree was struck by lightening. Local legend had it that her intelligence increased significantly after the incident.discovered the first complete specimen of a plesiosaur; deduced the diets of dinosaurs.
