A measurement that is reliable produces consistent results each time it is used. This is important when taking multiple measurements over time or when different people are taking measurements. A measurement can be precise (meaning it produces consistent results close to the true value), but still not reliable if it produces those consistent results in an inconsistent manner. Validity (which measures whether the measurement actually measures what it is intended to measure) and justifiability (which measures whether the measurement is ethically and practically appropriate) are also important considerations, but do not specifically address consistency of results.
