I see him largely in contrast to his father. Draco was raised to expect the world to grovel at his feet. Scorpius was raised to expect animosity and disdain. I think he learned to keep his head down and that any success in life would have to be earned. I think he would feel the weight of rebuilding his family's reputation, and would be wary of anything that would bring more shame to the family name.
He has a much better relationship with his father than Draco did and much healthier self-esteem. Scorpius would know that he was the most important thing in his father's life and that his father loved him no matter what (a luxury I think Draco did not have). Scorpius would have only one or two very close friends, being uninterested in fleeting popularity. He is far less materialistic than Draco was, and much less spoiled. He probably is loved by his professors and is seen as wise beyond his years, but he's a bit cynical and jaded for someone who was raised in peace and luxury.
I think Scorpius does have strong family pride, but that it would be more based on the particular actions of individual ancestors rather than all about lack of Muggle blood.
I really think Scorpius has to end up with a Potter, or maybe a Weasley. I tend to think of Scorpius as gay and used to be faithful to Albus/Scorpius fan fiction. That has been shaken by some very convincing James/Scorpius.
