Gough received a Bachelor of Arts in sociology in 1942, his Master's in 1947, and his Ph.D. in 1949, all from the University of Minnesota. His Ph.D. advisor was Paul E. Meehl. After the completion of his Ph.D., Gough served on the Department of Psychology faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, until his retirement in 1986. During World War II Gough served in the U.S. military as an armed forces psychologist, where he was assigned to the Air Crew Selection Program. It was here that Gough learned of the utility of psychological assessment tools. After developing the California Psychological Inventory assessment in 1956, Gough remarked that his primary goal was to meet the aviation selection program's high psychometric standards. Later in his armed forces tenure he was assigned to a military hospital as a clinical psychologist.
