Are the relays that I choose associated with my nostr account or the particular client I am using? I am an old man, still learning. Every time I try a new client, it seems to attach to a different set of relays, and my profile, “following, followers and posts” appear different. I can understand how this might provide an advantage, but I don’t know whether this is intentional.

Sometime the relays lost doesn't update across all clients. You can update your relays in most clients, that might take care of the issue you're talking about.

Relays are associated with your Nostr account. Which clients are you using?

Follows (people you follow) count will be the same 99% of the time irrespective of client.

But follower count can't be accurately measured on Nostr - there will be some variation across clientd

This has not been my experience. I have used Primal Web, Primal iOS App, Nostur iOS app, Damus iOS and macOS app, and Iris Web

There's a remote chance that one of the apps didn't read your relays properly.

Primal is an exception - it uses a caching system for reading notes, so it ignores your relay list for getting notes. But what notes you see on Damus, Nostur & Iris on your home (i.e. Following Feed) should be the same.
