If it's a standard AC --> DC power supply, like a Peter Chou, the voltages will be marked on the tabs. A PS can 'read' good, but if you touch the voltage adjustment pot, it may shut down.
Best way to test a PS is under load. If you value your board, I wouldn't use it, though! Find another way (like a heavy ceramic wire-wound resistor) to put it under load.
If it doesn't have the screw tabs, but has a molex wiring connector, standard wiring colors usually apply: black for ground, red for +5V, yellow for +12V.
