# Psychometric Studio

> Psychometric Studio is a specialist psychometric assessment practice founded by Karina Olivier, a professionally registered Industrial and Organisational Psychologist and Psychometrist (Independent Practice), based in the Netherlands. The practice serves organisations across the BeNeLux and DACH regions with scientifically validated talent diagnostics calibrated to the complexity of each role and decision.

## About the Founder
