A sensitive test will have fewer type II errors, and a specific test will have fewer type I errors.
A type I error is the likelihood of rejecting a null hypothesis when in fact the null hypothesis is true.
A type II error is the likelihood of rejecting an alternative hypothesis when in fact the alternative hypothesis is true.
