Explanation: 

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 how dependably or consistently a test measures a characteristic. If a person takes the test again, will he or she get a similar test score, or a much different score? A test that yields similar scores for a person who repeats the test is said to measure a characteristic reliably.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reliability of test scores is the extent to which they are consistent across different occasions of testing, different editions of the test, or different raters scoring the test taker’s responses.

Detailed explanation-4: -Test-retest reliability measures the consistency of results when you repeat the same test on the same sample at a different point in time.

Detailed explanation-5: -A reliable measurement is not always valid: the results might be reproducible, but they’re not necessarily correct. A valid measurement is generally reliable: if a test produces accurate results, they should be reproducible.
