The Virtuous Delinquent

I calculated my standard deviation values for some results I obtained (6 trials in total):
0.085
0.127
0.072
0.031
Basically I just want to know how you exactly CLASSIFY something as unreliable for standard deviation? Sure some values may be higher than others but what if they are all fairly reliable? (small in value)
0.139
0.068
0.104
0.115
0.094
I am 100% sure these values are right. But I just don't know how you determine whether it's unreliable or not. 0.139 is supposedly the most unreliable as its values are less consistent, but it's not that much difference compared to the other values like say 0.68 even. When I plot error bars using the Standard deviation values on my graph : http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n181/Roy_Mustard/Picture39.png
It looks like that. I don't know what to think about that, it's not suuuuper long or anything.
