Te: Shockley approached problems with logical, pragmatic reasoning and objective data. He instituted an “evidence-based scientific approach to every aspect” of his company, measuring performance with metrics and even posting employees’ salaries publicly. He focused on efficiency and results (e.g. redesigning military training for bomber crews to improve effectiveness). His hard-nosed decision-making often ignored feelings – for instance, he brusquely demanded lie-detector tests to resolve minor workplace issues. Ni: He demonstrated visionary, single-minded focus on concepts and long-term implications. He foresaw the revolutionary importance of semiconductors, believing he was “changing the world” with transistor technology. Once he seized on an idea, he pursued it relentlessly – from the junction transistor (which he invented shortly after the point-contact transistor breakthrough) to his later obsession with genetic IQ decline. He tended to fixate on one grand theory at a time (e.g. eugenics as the key to society’s future), a hallmark of Ni’s singular vision. His colleagues noted he could be “blind” to alternative viewpoints. Se: Though primarily a theorist, Shockley had a hands-on, risk-taking streak. He enjoyed physical challenges like rock climbing and kept meticulous logs of his weightlifting progress, treating his body as a measurable experiment. He even admitted to thrill-seeking behavior, climbing “unroped” by moonlight against all safety training – a self-described act of “strong-headedness”. In business, he took bold action by leaving Bell Labs to launch the first Silicon Valley startup in 1956. He also played mean-spirited pranks on his colleagues, showing a tendency towards impulsive stunts. He neglected Fi, and had negative Fe. E8: Shockley had a violent temper from infancy (his father noted as a toddler “it is an odd day when he does not break something”) and he never shied from confrontation. He exerted an autocratic authority over his team and welcomed conflict, even public outrage, as a way to push his agenda. He was willful and combative: he fought anyone who challenged his ideas, was called “the Hitler of the ’80s” by protestors, and yet continued debating and doubling down. He had a lack of fear in taking unpopular stands and he needed to be in control of his company and the narrative around his work. He did have extremely strong unhealthy E1 traits, although he didn’t seem much of a moralist. He was w7 rather than w9, because nobody in their right mind would even consider the possibility of Stockley being a w9.
Biografie
William Bradford Shockley Jr. (February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989) was an American physicist and inventor. Shockley was the manager of a research group at Bell Labs that included John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. The three scientists were jointly awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for "their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect".
