He did not use contractions such as "you've" for "you have" and addressed others by titles such as "Master", "Mistress", "Doctor-Master" (to refer to the Doctor) or "Young Master" ([[Adric]], [[Starkey]] and in one instance, [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]]). Though he did not seem to resent his subordinate status, he sided with the Doctor's companions over the Doctor and showed a dark side, regarding other artificial intelligences with contempt. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Robot Gladiators]]'') He relished a brief chance to act as a figure of power.

He usually did not engage in [[computer]]-like literal thinking, though on one occasion he followed Romana's instructions to "forget it" to the letter and erased all knowledge of [[tennis]] from his memory banks. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stones of Blood]]''). In another he took Romana's exclamation "Blast it!" as a command, and fired his blaster.

With his great intelligence, he had a tendency to bore people with facts and did not stop immediately when asked, as he did to [[Leela]] on [[Pluto]]. When being told that he would have to stay behind in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], K9 often argued, giving the Doctor reasons why he should go such as "he would be a good [[dog]]." K9 always wanted to assist the Doctor. He had great intelligence and skill at [[chess]], claiming to be able to beat the Doctor in six moves (although this may only have been because he was programmed with all [[chess]] games since [[1886]]). ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sun Makers]]'', ''[[The Androids of Tara]]'') K9 had an aggression mode.
