A Doctorate (Ph.G) of Gimp represents the highest level of study in this field. Very few comprehend the broad impact that this degree represents (i.e., plastic craft lacing, plastic craft lace, boondoggling, gimpaction (the verb), Scoubi, Scoubidou, lanyards etc). As you may already know, the questioning for this degree borders on the abstract, the ability to think beyond the basics! Usually a doctorate requires "original research", therefore in addition to the five questions below you are required to construct three gimp knots of your choice. Your peers/friends must agree that the three knots you constructed are correct. There is no oral exam as in most doctorate programs because the questioning in addition to the construction of three knots of your choice is demanding enough! You MUST get all five questions correct. You can look at the questions, but not the answers prior to taking the test. Remember, honesty counts. Good luck !
