Hope it is useful to you'll. Chapters 3 -9 is what you might find relevant. Please note that is document has not been updated for a long time...but will give adequate information to people who want to know more about Psychometric Testing & instruments.
Keep sharing,

Hi Sree,
Good standardized Psychometric instruments have a reliability ranging between 0.60 - 0.87, which is good.
A good instrument should produce same or similar results / scores on consecutive trials all other conditions remaining the same or constant.
If you are getting different results on consecutive trials all conditions remaining constant then the instrument fails the test of reliability.
However before you go around judging the instrument make sure all extraneous variables are under control. It should also be kept in mind that you are dealing with human beings and our behaviour is constantly changing and adapting to the environment, so there will be no instrument that will give you 100 percent accuracy.

Namaskar.
Let me add to noor.
Certain aspect of human behaviour is consistent and certain other aspect is inconsistent. Psychological testing deals with the first aspect. One of the number of reliabilty measure is called test-retest reliabilty. This estimation answers whether the scores across time are consitent. For standardisation purpose normally about a gap of 2 months is given and a correlation between the two sets of scores is expected to be +0.90. It depends upon the author/project director as to how much consistency is acceptable to him/her.
Gerontology shows that consistency pervades throughout life.
