Rice Purity Test

A guide to the Rice Purity Test: origin, format, scoring, and meaning.

The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question yes/no survey used often for fun and reflection. It originated as a social icebreaker among freshmen at Rice University. oai_citation:0‡Purity Compass

How scoring works

You start with 100 points, then subtract one for every “yes” answer. A higher score means fewer life experiences. oai_citation:1‡Rice Purity Test

What the score can imply (not definitive)

  • 90–100: Fewer “yes” responses → less exposure to certain experiences
  • 70–90: Moderate range
  • 0–70: More diverse experiences

Remember, this test is not scientific or clinical. It’s meant for entertainment and self reflection, not to judge character. oai_citation:2‡Purity Compass
