Is your sweater ugly enough?

Most sweaters are not. Take the pre-assessment and find out where yours stands, then submit it to an assessor, who will look at it, sigh, and decide.
Step 1

The pre-assessment

Six questions. Answer honestly. The assessors can tell, mostly from the reindeer.

Start the pre-assessment
Step 2

Submit for certification

One button. An assessor will be along to look at your sweater from across the room. You will not know which room, or when, which is part of the standard.
