Tests to determine a person's strength,speed,etc

I myself like to find out the different number tests that are available out there to determine a persons athletic capability.
if anyone knows any good tests then please post them below.
i.e. Squats how much of the bodyweight they can lift.
broad jumps what does this determine.
what numbers/stats are important to know about someone to know how their body is.

there was a test post by linkenauger if you can swing and raise your legs straight out in line with your chest you have strong core if you can do 20+ pull ups you have good upper body strength, etc.

These are the types of tests i am looking for so i can do it and see how my body is.
i.e. someone says post your numbers i can post these as well.

Thanks
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
