Accurate skinfold testing needs to be done by trained, experienced professionals; when done properly and consistently, it can be a fairly accurate measure of progress, but there's a TON of room for error.
Your options are:
1) Find a professional, pay a fee to get skinfold testing, and compare to yours.
2) Get a hydrostatic water test done, considered the gold standard. Expensive.
3) Find a facility with a BOD-POD, which uses air displacement plethymography to test BF%.
