Reliability is the extent to which a measure consistently and accurately assesses a particular characteristic. It is an important quality for any measure because it ensures that the results are representative and can be replicated. Validity is also an important quality, but it refers to whether the measure is actually measuring what it is intended to measure. Standardized score and percentile are not related to the quality of the measure in terms of reliability or validity.
