Detailed explanation-1: -Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results. Test-retest reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering the same test twice over a period of time to a group of individuals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. 1 A test is considered reliable if we get the same result repeatedly. For example, if a test is designed to measure a trait (such as introversion), then each time the test is administered to a subject, the results should be approximately the same.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reliability is the extent to which test scores are consistent, with respect to one or more sources of inconsistency-the selection of specific questions, the selection of raters, the day and time of testing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. Psychologists consider three types of consistency: over time (test-retest reliability), across items (internal consistency), and across different researchers (inter-rater reliability).
Detailed explanation-5: -Reliability refers to a condition where a measurement process yields consistent scores (given an unchanged measured phenomenon) over repeat measurements.
