The assessment mapped each student's abilities and inabilities in reading and math.
Note
A plural that appears only when incapacity is being counted. The singular works both as a mass noun (his inability to swim) and as a count noun, and the plural takes up the count use: separate failures, or separate kinds of powerlessness, set side by side. It keeps the singular's to-infinitive (inabilities to pay, to agree) and covers both a missing skill and a missing option.
