Personality

What personality type is Russell "Stringer" Bell? Russell "Stringer" Bell is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - sp/sx - 358 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.

He seems more like a Te dom rather than Ni dom. There are many arguements to be made for this but I think the best example is demonstrated in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkVohPC_YpU I believe him asking slim to hit Clay Davis exemplifies unhealthy Te demanding immediate action triggered by inferior Fi. Even an unhealthy INTJ would have thought about it a bit more and realize the long-term consequences of such an action (Ni) and would have either not ordered it or would be a bit more discreet and try to make it more of an assassination like poisoning him or hiring a professional hitman rather then asking Slim to do it of all people.

Biography

Second in command to Avon Barksdale, the two have been friends and accomplices since they were boys. Stringer sees himself as analytical, precise, and intelligent, and takes economics and business classes in hope of legitimizing the Barksdale Organization's profits through investments such as real estate. This stance eventually alienates him from Avon, who ultimately is much more concerned about playing the game and upholding the street code of ethics he grew up with.
