The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Evel's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Evel Knievel himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Evel Knievel is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Evel Knievel is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Knievel probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Knievel's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Evel Knievel as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Evel does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.

Evel Knievel is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Evel Knievel is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Evel Knievel needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Knievel's work or outside social activities.

At times Evel Knievel comes across to others as being rather intense and possibly manipulative or controlling. Or he may get involved in relationships which are "fatal attractions", where he acts out compulsive, intense needs and desires. There is a sexual, seductive quality in Knievel's glance or manner that others notice right away. This may either repel them or draw them to Evel Knievel irresistibly.

Evel Knievel has a sweet, appealing demeanor and seems instinctively to grasp the concept that "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar". His personal brand of charm is usually quite winning. Evel coax rather than coerce. However, if he does not get what he wants, Evel Knievel is likely to resort to insincere flattery, wheedling, whining, or pouting rather than stating directly what he needs, or doing for himself. Knievel seems to need others' approval first.

He is easily excitable and could find it difficult to sit still. Knievel always have something going on and is not afraid to take chances. Evel Knievel takes the initiative and has the ability to stimulate and sweep along others.
