About the test

What is the Rice Purity Test?

The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question self-assessment survey originally created by students at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It was designed as a fun bonding activity during Orientation Week (O-Week) to help students share their life experiences and connect with peers.

Today, the rice purity test has grown far beyond Rice University and is taken by millions of people worldwide every year. Your rice purity score is calculated out of 100 — the higher your score, the more "pure" or inexperienced you are considered to be. Every item you tick reduces your score by one point.

The test covers five life experience categories: Romance, Intimacy, Substances, Legal, and Experiences. It is intended purely for entertainment and self-reflection — not a bucket list or a moral judgement.

Common questions
FAQ
What is the Rice Purity Test?
The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question self-assessment originally created at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It measures life experiences across romance, intimacy, substances, legal matters, and general experiences. A higher score means more innocence — scores start at 100 and decrease with each item you have done.
Is my data stored or shared?
No. Your answers never leave your browser. The test runs entirely on your device — we do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Nothing is saved to any server.
What is a good rice purity score?
There is no universally good or bad score — it is simply a reflection of your experiences. Scores of 90–100 are considered very pure. 70–90 is typical for teenagers and young adults. 40–70 is average for college students. Below 40 reflects a wide range of life experiences. Context matters: a score of 80 means something different for a 16-year-old vs a 25-year-old.

How are the rice purity test questions scored?
You begin with a score of 100. For each question you tick "yes" to, one point is subtracted. Your final score is 100 minus the number of boxes you checked. Every question counts equally — no question is weighted more than another. A score of 100 means you haven't done any of the 100 things listed.
Can I retake the test?
Yes — use the restart button on the results page or simply reload the page. You can retake the test as many times as you like. Many people retake it after a period of time to see how their score has changed as they gain new experiences.
Is this test suitable for all ages?
The Rice Purity Test contains questions of a mature sexual nature and is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Several questions cover sexual experiences, substance use, and illegal activity that are not appropriate for younger audiences.
