Understanding the Rice Purity Test Questions
The Rice Purity Test is a self-assessment survey containing 100 questions about various life experiences. Originally created at Rice University, it has become a popular way for people to reflect on their experiences and compare with others.
Each question represents an activity or experience that you may or may not have had in your lifetime. The test covers a wide range of topics including:
- Romantic relationships
- Physical intimacy
- Sexual experiences
- Substance use
- Legal matters
- Miscellaneous life experiences
How the Rice Purity Test Works
The Rice Purity Test consists of 100 yes/no questions. For each question, you indicate whether you have experienced the activity described:
Scoring Method
Your score is calculated by counting how many items you haven't experienced:
| Score Range | General Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 90-100 | Very pure/innocent |
| 70-89 | Moderately pure |
| 50-69 | Average experience |
| 30-49 | Experienced |
| 0-29 | Highly experienced |
Example Calculation
If you answer "No" to 75 questions (meaning you haven't done those 75 activities):
- Your purity score = 75
- This falls in the "Moderately pure" range
Important Note
A higher score doesn't mean you're "better" - the test is purely for reflection and entertainment.
Your score is personal and should not be used to judge others or yourself.
