  - scores obtained by a person when re-examined
* refers to the consistency or replicability of scores or performances
  - reproducibility of a measure
  - stability of assessment results
  - consistency, stability, and replicability of a measurement
* refers to the degree to which a test is error-free
  - a test score is free from errors of measurement
  - extent to which a measure provides consistent results
  - internal consistency and relative stability of findings over time
  - precision and consistency of scores derived from a test instrument
  - quality of that value
  - reproducibility of a measurement
  - test giving consistent results over the years
  - whether the measuring device is consistent in measuring whatever it measures
* reflects the degree to which true scores and observed scores correspond to each other.
* usually refers to consistency over time.
+ Applied behavior analysis, Characteristics, Analytic
  * Both of these techniques help behavior analysts prove reliability. Reliability is the likelihood that a certain thing caused a change in behavior. If something has high reliability it is thought that the thing was the reason for a change in behavior. To show reliability behavior analysts must be able to analyze behavior. To analyze behavior they must have control over the behavior.
