Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Stephen Baldwin likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Baldwin must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever Stephen does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Stephen Baldwin also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way.

Baldwin admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Stephen Baldwin befriends someone, Baldwin is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy.
