You can also compare the results of one type of thermometer against another; for example, taking an oral temperature with one thermometer and a forehead temperature with a different thermometer.

Keep in mind that these readings will need to be adjusted for their location since some types of temperatures (like oral) are typically lower than other types (like rectal and ear).
