Scalable:
Writes stored procedures with huge number of parameters mostly of sqlvariant type to cover all bases,
most of the parameters are never used.
Leaves code commented out in the middle of stored procedure, because he got an 'idea'.
Uses sp_executesql often to construct monstrous strings of sql code.
He/She is deeply convinced that everything can be done by writing more sql code
Paranoid:
Creates stored procedure for every select statement he ever used
Writes functions for custom string manipulations because .net libraries can't be trusted
Creates code for checking gaps in identity column range and inserts records into the 'free' space
Data model changes have to be approved by him and undergo by rigorous scrutiny
Happy
Performs 'minor' changes directly on the production servers
Creates overcomplicated sa password which he forgets
Creates indexes just because there are columns in the table
Every server has different version of the data model, which he 'updates' on a daily bases

Selfish:
Implements something in LIVE 5 minutes before leaving for a 2 week vacation.
