Precision is a matter of how consistent a measurer is<br />

with him or herself (intra-observer reliability) or<br />

with other measurers (inter-observer reliability).<br />

Accuracy is a matter of how closely obtained<br />

measures conform to true or ideal measures.<br />

Anthropometrists should verify their precision by<br />

calculating the Technical Error of Measurement(TEM)<br />

of their testing.<br />

The development of an anthropometrist’s touch is<br />

seldom achieved without extensive practice.
