What Does a Rice Purity Score of 70–79 Mean?

Rice purity score 70–79: what it means

A rice purity score between 70 and 79 means you ticked between 21 and 30 of the 100 statements. On our test this is the upper part of Moderately Experienced (60–79): a balanced mix of romantic, social and everyday experiences.

What usually leads to a score in the 70s?

People in the 70s have typically ticked most of the Romance section, several Experiences items, some Substances questions such as drinking or drinking games, and a few items from the Intimacy section. Legal items are usually limited to minor ones, such as being sent to the principal's office.

Is a score in the 70s average?

It is often described as a typical score for older teenagers and university students, and it sits close to the middle of the scale. Our averages are informal, so treat “average” as a rough guide rather than a statistic.

A score in the 70s at university

For many people the 70s are where the score sits during the first year or two of university: a few relationships, some nights out, perhaps a drinking game or two, and a handful of everyday adventures. It is a range that tends to feel unremarkable among peers, which is part of why the test works as an icebreaker.

If you're comparing with a partner, small gaps in this range are very common. Our guide to the Rice Purity Test for couples covers what score gaps do and don't mean.

Is 70 good or bad?

Neither. A score in the 70s simply shows you have had a fair range of experiences. It doesn't make you more or less mature, moral or interesting than anyone else.

How it compares

Compared with a score in the 80s, the 70s usually include a few more social and intimate experiences. Compared with the 60s, the 70s usually involve fewer items from the Intimacy and Substances sections. See average scores by age for more context.
