    Calipers gonna give you some information about your bodyfat but it might not be as accurate as other methods available, If measurements are taken by a professional, body calipers work well with an error margin of 3-5%. However, there are still better methods such as dexa scan and hydrostatic weighing (which is the best imho).
    See the link below for a detailed analysis and comparison of 10 methods available:

    At %6, I don't think you'll need measurements to predict your body fat ratio
    Most probably that dude did the measurements wrong, it takes a lot of practice to do it correctly that's why its not optimal at all.
    Try dexascan.
