How could a sample taken from the same person give different results?

You came up hot for marijuana on a screening test then were negative on a confirmation test, right? It's got a lot to do with the way they run the tests. Screening tests are quick, inexpensive tests given to pick out all the people who might have been using drugs. These catch a lot of people who were taking drugs that aren't pot but kinda look like pot to the testing device--Advil is one drug that looks like pot, and poppyseeds are famous for looking like heroin. Drug test dip sticks, EMIT, and ELISA tests are screening tests. Confirmation tests are very accurate, more-expensive tests that determine exactly what it is you're taking. The most popular confirmation test is "gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer" or GC/MS. It's not unheard of for a whole box of screened-positive samples to test negative on a GC/MS. The reason they run the screening test is to keep the other 19 boxes of samples, which ALL screened negative, from being run through the expensive machine.

What do drug tests test for?

The way you phrased this question makes it rather general. Drug tests range in what they test for. They have tests that look specifically for marijuana, or ones that look specifically for cocaine and ecstasy. There are a myriad of possibilities on what different drug tests can test for. Most commonly, if you are referring to being tested for probation, a multi-screen drug test is used which tests your urine for traces of THC (marijuana), Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Opiates (Heroin, Morphine, Oxycotton, Suboxone, etc.), PCP, and sometimes Barbiturates. The answer to your question is simply dependent upon who is giving you a test (whether it be your parents, doctor, or officer).
