Consistently inconsistent "consistent"

In my work (education) we use the English word "consistent" for many different things. There are a lot af different translations for "consistent" ex: congruente, coherente, consecuente, constante, and consistente. I am unsure when to use which translation to express these ideas: please let me know if I am correct or not. ****To be in accord/ same as**** Ex. The results of this study are consistent with previous research. Los resultados de este estudio concuerdan/estan coherente con las investigaciones previas

To describe a person's character: Ex. He is a consistent worker, he rarely makes mistakes Él es un trabajador constante, rara vez equivoca.

To describe a pattern of behavior Ex. He is showing consistent progress toward his goals. Está mostrando progreso consistente/constante hacia su meta

He has been very consistent with the diet and exercise routine Ha sido muy consistente con la dieta y la rutina de ejercicios.

I know this was a lot. Gracias antemano por su ayuda.

.... rara vez se equivoca.

Para el comportamiento de uno, sólo usaría consistente pero constantemente en cuanto a sus acciones así usada como adverbio.

Lo demás me parece bien.

Gracias, estaba concentrando tanto en el uso de "consistent" que olvidé "se". :) - deedeegill72, Nov 8, 2013
