The attenuated correlation for the inputs you gave is:


            

            

              
This is ancient psychometrics but still of some use.  For more information, see:

              https://www.psyctc.org/psyctc/glossary2/attenuation-by-unreliability-of-measurement/
              
 

              
The formula is simple:

              
 

              $$attenuatedR = unattenuatedR * \sqrt{rel_{x} * rel_{y}}$$
              
              
The short summary is that unreliability in the measurement of both variables involved in a correlation always reduces the observed correlation between the variables from what it would have been had the variables been measured with no unreliability (which is essentially impossible for any self-report measures and pretty much any measures used in our fields.)
