The statement is FALSE.

The standard error is a statistic that measures the degree of variability of the observations in a dataset. It quantifies how much each observation is deviated from the mean. It measures both positive and negative deviations from the mean value but it is always a positive magnitude.

It is not used to compare the variability of different means.
