Morse is highly intelligent. He is a [[crossword]] addict<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2012/aug/09/top-10-crosswords-fiction-inspector-morse|title=Top 10 crosswords in fiction, no 3: Inspector Morse|first=Alan|last=Connor|date=9 August 2012|website=The Guardian|access-date=15 November 2018}}</ref> and dislikes grammatical and spelling errors; in every personal or private document that he receives, he manages to point out at least one mistake. He claims that his approach to crime-solving is deductive, and one of his key tenets is that "there is a 50 per cent chance that the person who finds the body is the murderer". Morse uses immense intuition and his fantastic memory to apprehend the perpetrator.

Among Morse's conservative tastes are that he likes to drink [[real ale]] and [[whisky]], and in the early novels, drives a [[Lancia]].<ref name="auto"/> In the television and radio productions (and reprints of the novels), this is altered to a suitably British classic [[Jaguar Mark 2]]. His favourite music is opera, which is echoed in the soundtracks to the television series, along with original music by [[Barrington Pheloung]].

His dying words, said to Jim Strange, are "Thank Lewis for me."<ref>"The Remorseful Day"</ref>
