Comparing scores is half the fun of the Rice Purity Test. Here's how to do it with friends so everyone enjoys it and nobody feels put on the spot.
Quick answer
To take the Rice Purity Test with friends, agree a few ground rules first: everyone is 18 or over, taking part is optional, and you only ever share your final score, never your answers. Then have everyone take the test privately on their own phone, using the same version, and reveal your scores together. Keep it light: the score counts experiences, it doesn't rank anyone.
Key takeaways
- Agree ground rules first: 18+, optional, and scores only, never answers.
- Everyone takes the test privately on their own phone, using the same version.
- Reveal scores together, or try a guessing game to make it more fun.
- No score is better or worse, so there's nothing to judge.
Set a few ground rules first
A minute of agreement before you start keeps the game fun for everyone:
- Adults only. The test includes questions about sex, alcohol, drugs and the law, so everyone taking part should be 18 or over.
- Taking part is optional. Anyone can sit it out or keep their score to themselves, with no questions asked.
- Scores only, never answers. Nobody has to say which statements they ticked.
- What's shared stays in the group. No screenshots or posts of other people's scores without their OK.
How to do it, step by step
- Pick one version of the test. Different sites change the questions or scoring, so scores are only comparable if you all use the same one. You can take the classic 100-question test here.
- Take it privately. Everyone answers on their own phone, without anyone looking over their shoulder. Honest answers make for a fairer comparison.
- Agree how to reveal. All at once, one by one, or with one of the games below.
- Reveal your scores. Share the number, then look up what each range means on the Rice Purity score chart.
Fun ways to reveal your scores
- The countdown reveal. Everyone holds up their phone on three.
- Guess my score. Before each person reveals, the group writes down a guess. Closest guess wins.
- Anonymous reveal. Everyone writes their score on a piece of paper, folds it and puts it in a cup. Read them out and try to match scores to people, or just enjoy seeing the spread without knowing whose is whose. This works well if some people would rather not be identified.
- Before and after. If you took the test together a year or two ago, retake it and compare how your scores have changed.

Keeping it fun and respectful
- Don't rank people. A higher score isn't better and a lower score isn't worse. Read is a high or low score better? if anyone's unsure.
- Don't push for details. If someone's score surprises you, leave it there. Asking which statements they ticked defeats the point of sharing only the score.
- Let people pass. If anyone seems uncomfortable, move on or stop the game.
- Remember age matters. Scores tend to drop with age, so a mixed-age group will naturally see a wide spread. See average score by age.
Keeping your answers private
On this site, the test runs in your browser and your answers are never stored, so nobody can look them up later. A few extra habits help:
- Don't pass your phone around while your answers are still on screen.
- Close or refresh the page when you're done if you're sharing a device.
- Share a screenshot of your score only, not your ticked statements, if you post it anywhere. Doing the trend online? Read the Rice Purity Test on TikTok.
