I don't know what any of the nine are like as a person.  I imagine that getting a lifetime appointment isn't great for one's character or virtues, it means even if you're pretty rude and inconsiderate, you still keep your job.  
But I have caught Alito playing "heads I win, tails you lose" with plaintiffs and I haven't read any sequence of decisions showing Roberts doing that.
And I think both Alito and Scalia before him argue too caustically - more like politicians or pundits than judges - but that's really not a big deal.  The Supreme Court's job is to decide cases in a way that gives lower courts adequate guidance about how similar cases should be decided in the near future.  Style points don't really come into it because most people don't read the decisions anyhow.

Roberts is said to enjoy the social scene that his position enables. He likes the access to the elites that he has. It's why he generally tries to play the middle. He doesn't want to be shunned at the parties or worse being removed from the list.



There is some other crazy stuff out there about him but no proof.
