The term "reliable" refers to the consistency or stability of test scores over time. In this scenario, the fact that most individuals got very similar scores each time suggests that the test is reliable. "Accurate" refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure, and this information is not provided in the scenario. "Valid" refers to the extent to which a test actually measures the construct or concept it is supposed to measure, and again, information about validity is not provided in the scenario. "Generalized" is not a term commonly used to describe test scores.
