==Fictional biography==
Shawn is a breech baby,〔''Psych'', Episode 4.05: "Shawn Has the Yips." Original airdate: September 11, 2009〕 born in February〔''Psych'', Episode 5.04: "Chivalry Is Not Dead But Someone Is." Original airdate: August 5, 2010〕 1977, and comes from a family of police officers. His parents separated in 1992, and later divorced; his mother, Madeleine (a psychologist), eventually returned and explained that she left to pursue a job opportunity.〔''Psych'', Episode 3.01: "Ghosts." Original airdate: July 18, 2008.〕 His father, Henry Spencer, schooled Shawn in detective work from birth,〔''Psych'', Episode 8.03: "Remake A.K.A. Cloudy... With a Chance of Improvement." Original airdate: January 22, 2014〕 aiding the development of his extraordinary powers of observation and deduction. At the age of 15, he achieved a perfect score of 100 on the detective's exam.〔''Psych'', Episode 2.11: "There's Something About Mira." Original airdate: January 11, 2008.〕 This is drawn loosely from the childhood of series creator Steve Franks, who was also born into a family of police officers and whose father "was training () in his own way to follow his footsteps." Franks' father would ask him how many people were wearing hats in a restaurant, a tactic employed in the show's pilot episode by Shawn's father.〔Goldman, Eric (June 30, 2006).

Shawn's relationship with his father is complicated and at times highly strained: Shawn's dad has even admitted that the only "constant" in Shawn's life was his childhood best friend, Gus, who has stuck by him loyally. Though often it may seem that Henry is intentionally aggravating or imposing his will on his grown son, it is usually revealed that his motives are genuine. For example, tipping off the meter maid to ticket Shawn's motorcycle which is parked too close to a hydrant outside his apartment. The impounding as a result was Henry's ultimate goal, as Shawn had gotten into an accident some time ago. When push comes to shove, Shawn's father is always there to back him up, whether it be providing advice on a case Shawn is stuck on or tracking down Shawn's kidnappers (both of which occur in multiple episodes), Henry is there. For years, Shawn blamed his father for leaving his mother and ending their marriage but in the third season opener, his mother reveals that she was the one who left Henry. Shawn thus realizes his father never told the truth as he didn't want to ruin the image Shawn had of his mother as near perfect and sees Henry in a new light.
Despite his obvious talent, Shawn has no interest in entering the police force, and after graduating from Leland Bosseigh High School in Santa Barbara, California, in 1995,〔''Psych'', Episode 3.02: "Murder? ... Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Bueller?" Original airdate: July 25, 2008.〕 takes up a string of random jobs selected strictly for his own enjoyment. He is shown to be a crack shot, hitting all of Detective Barry's bullet holes in a target with little experience and, at a later episode, disabling a suspect's truck during a chase while he was hanging from the hood of Lassiter's car. In his spare time, he entertains himself by calling in tips to the police hotline based on observations he has made on crime scenes shown in television news footage. After one such tip, the Santa Barbara police become suspicious of Shawn, whose information is so good that they believe it could only have come from an inside source. Desperate to avoid jail time, Shawn lies, explaining that he obtained the information in a psychic vision. Although initially skeptical, the department is impressed when he uses his "psychic" abilities to deduce that McNab was engaged to be married, that the secretary was "haunted" by her dead grandmother, that Lassiter was in a relationship with his partner (who only appears in the pilot episode and is immediately replaced in the next episode by his current partner Juliet), and to solve a vandalism case. They hire Shawn as a consultant. Burton Guster, Shawn's best friend from childhood hesitantly allows Shawn to recruit him, while Gus has pursued his career in pharmaceutical sales and they open their own psychic detective agency, "Psych".
