He is Co-Owner and Director of Raise the Bar Psychology, has published 35 academic papers, and was former Editor-in-Chief of The Educational and Developmental Psychologist.

  • Spot the gorillas: Learn to catch early cognitive biases and inattentional blindness in personality diagnostics.

  • Integrate multi-method data: Explore best practice in combining self-reports (e.g. NEO-PI-3, PAI), informant ratings and behavioural measures.

  • Case study review: Apply concepts to real-world data provided beforehand—live discussion with Dr Costello to deepen insights.

  Who should attend?
  Early-career and experienced psychologists working in educational and developmental settings, assessment specialists, and supervisors seeking to refresh their approach to personality evaluation.
