Through Caliper, many people who might not otherwise have been selected for particular jobs, have achieved high levels of success and fame. Dr. Greenberg has said he wanted his legacy to be the foundation of a company that helps individuals, as well as companies, achieve their maximum potential. Herb is quoted as saying, "The real winners in the world are those people who are in positions that really let them play to their strengths."

Dr. Herb Greenberg, who was recently awarded the Presidential Award at NYU, his alma mater for his Ph.D., made a living out of changing people's lives. He founded Caliper based on the idea that people can be best matched to the perfect job using personality assessments that predict success in every type of job from corporate leadership to customer service, professional services and even sports, which was a passion of Herb's.
