Note
A plural that only makes sense once validity is counted rather than treated as a quality. Every meaning of the singular can be countable, but the plural is most at home in measurement. There, each test or instrument has its own validity, the degree to which it measures what it claims to, so validities can be reported and compared side by side. They are often weighed alongside reliability.
