In statistics and psychometric reliability is the overall consistency of a measure. A measure is said to have high reliability if it produces similar results under consistent conditions. The characteristics of a set of test scores that give information of the amount of random error from the measurement process. Scores that are highly reliable are said to be precise, reproducible and consistent from one test to another.
