Tests for screening should be reliable and valid. Validity measures include sensitivity and specificity which allow the calculation of the predictive value of a positive or negative result. The predictive value is the chance that a positive test will correlate with a positive diagnosis. Reliability ...
Because of the morbidity associated with undiagnosed (GDM), screening programs are advocated in all pregnancy clinics. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the optimum time to test for during , the indication for retesting, and the predictive value of a positive screening test for a large...

An omics test intended for screening a large healthy population for disease (for example, a serum proteomic screening test for ovarian cancer) must have very high specificity and positive predictive value, and its predictive value must be calculated by using a disease prevalence that is appropriate...
On personality and behavioral tests, each of the traits that are being evaluated receives a percentile score, which is compared to other test-takers. There are no high or low scores on these tests. If you score higher on a certain personality trait, for example ‘Extroversion’, this means ...
