Childs had a short temper and often got into arguments with other members of Outpost 31, especially MacReady. When relaxing he would smoke marijuana with his roommate, Palmer. He was shown to be very suspicious of everyone around him when the possibility that someone was The Thing came into account and even tried taking leadership responsibilities, but he was denied, much to his annoyance. He had a love-hate relationship with MacReady, which became especially heated when MacReady was suspected to be a Thing. It wasn't until MacReady proved himself as human and went as far as to destroy Outpost 31 (with the Thing inside) that Childs finally warmed up to MacReady (although he still called him a murderer after MacReady killed Clark in self defence), even remaining calm and sharing a drink with him as they prepared to freeze to death. Initially, he referred to everything revolving around the Thing as "voodoo bullshit" and was hesitant to believe anything he was told about the alien.
