Repeatability

Repeatability is the capability of the gage (a.k.a. the measurement system which could be a gage, an appraiser, inspector, or measurer) generating the same exact result every time measuring the same thing more than one time.

How well does the appraiser repeat their own measurement?

Perhaps that appraiser get the exact same result but that results if off the true actual value the same amount each time. This indicates that the gage itself has a calibration problem that first needs to be resolved.

Reproducibility

Reproducibility compares the measurement of one appraiser to other appraiser(s) measuring the same object using the same gage.

The term "among" is used when explaining reproducibility since it relays information about the measurements among all the appraisers. 

What is the capability of each appraiser getting the same exact measurement on the same part using the same gage?

How well do they reproduce each others' resulting measurements on each part?
