I feel like I’ve seen a question about this before, and I think it was about how the same appraiser gets the same results. So, I’m leaning towards repeatability too.

I’m a bit confused between repeatability and bias. They both seem related to measurement consistency, but I think repeatability is the one we're looking for here.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think repeatability is definitely the right term for measurements taken multiple times by the same person.

I've got a good handle on these measurement concepts, so I'm confident the answer is repeatability. That's the one that describes the ability to get the same result when the same person measures the same part multiple times.

Okay, the key here is that the question is asking about the ability to repeat the same measurement by the same appraiser. That sounds like it's referring to repeatability, so I'll go with option A.

This is easy, it's Repeatability. Unless the part is a boomerang, then it's Reproducibility. Ha!

Reproducibility? Isn't that like, making the same part over and over again? I think I'm missing something here.

Yeah, reproducibility is different. It's about getting the same measurement with different appraisers using the same instrument.
