[edit] Personality
Although Steve of tries his best to come off as a very confident person, he is deep down a teen who suffered for a great deal of self-esteem issues. The core of these issues most likely comes from his father, Stan, who in an attempt to make Steve exactly like himself, verbal and psychological abuses Steve by diminishing his self-worth. As a result, Steve unlike his sister Hayley hungers for his father's approval, often to the point of being sycophantic. In hopes of getting Stan's approval, Steve will at times mimic Stan's xenophobic Right-Wing Republican beliefs, not so much because he believes in them himself, but because Stan tells him he should believe in them with no other option.
There are however points where Steve's confidence and self-worth wins out over Stan's demands and he becomes willing to rebel and stand up to his father. For example, in "Star Trek", where Steve, tired of being lied to and used by Stan, divorces his entire family.
When the series first began, Steve considered himself the height of coolness, but as time progressed, Steve has come to accept that he is indeed a nerd, who is at times driven primarily by selfish desires. For the most part he's comfortable with this, save for the points when his father is involved and openly sneers at Steve's hobbies and geeky friends.
Despite low self-esteem and being a geek, Steve has proven to be very intelligent and even charismatic, when the need arise. He the primary leader of his group of friends, and is often the one responsible for planning their adventures.

As a result of Stan's teachings, Steve also has a surprisingly impressive numbers of CIA spy skills. He is a master of disguise, educated in using morse code and can even speak to dolphins. Steve understands gun maintenance and may very well be trained in weapons use. Steve is also occassionally show to demonstrated detective level skills of analysis and observation.
[edit] Quotes
- "...I have an oral report on fossils tomorrow. I already know how to talk so the remaining 10% of the work will be learning about fossils."
- "...Let's go screw some sheep!"
- "...Fuck me in the goat ass!"
- "...did anyone else get a boner when akiko slapped me?"
[edit] Trivia
- Despite his awkward geekiness Steve does seem to be unconciously able to attract pretty girls who are willing to take his virginity. However something (one case of memory erasure and at least two cases of death) always prevents the action from happening.
- Steve has twice been aroused by his sister. Once accidentally by a nude portrait for which Hayley was the model. In the painting her face was hidden so Steve didn't know it was her, at first. The second time was when Roger tricked Steve into believing he was adopted. One of the conclusions Steve reached was that since they weren't related Hayley was ok to kiss in a passionate way. Both times Hayley has been left clearly disturbed and possibly traumatised by these events. As was Steve when the truths came out.
- From the quotes above, it could be suggested that Steve is in some way a zoophiliac as well as a masochist.
