Is there a difference between a carpentry meter stick and a clinical height meter?
I measured my height and in the carpentry meter stick, it's only 167 cm. In the clinical height meter, it's 172 cm. Which one is standard?

Depends on the accuracy, but it's surprising they differ by that much. Isn't it probably a set-up error? how did you measure your height in both cases?... for example, did you use shoes, did the clinical meter give the ground as 0?, how were your back and feet position?, etc.
