adaptabilities
Abilities to adjust
Adaptabilities is the plural of adaptability—the capacity to adjust to new conditions or circumstances.
The plural form typically appears when discussing multiple types or instances of flexibility: The job requires various adaptabilities—to new technology, changing markets, and different team dynamics.
Organizations may assess adaptabilities across different domains: social, cognitive, physical.
