Tarun's system of measurement has low validity because he is not measuring the ingredients as the recipe intends (using a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon). However, it has high reliability because he consistently uses the teaspoon every time the recipe calls for a tablespoon, making his measurements consistent even though they are incorrect.
