What is the Rice Purity Test?
The Rice Purity Test is a self-reported checklist of 100 life experiences. Each checked item reduces your score by one point, so the result ranges from 0 to 100. It is intended for entertainment and self-reflection, not as a moral judgment or a clinical assessment.
Why Take the Rice Purity Test?
You can use the checklist to reflect on your experiences or start a conversation with friends. Participation and sharing are optional. A score only counts the items on this list; it does not capture every part of your life or measure your maturity.
Where does the Rice Purity Test come from?
History of the Rice Purity Test
The Rice Purity Test is associated with student culture at Rice University. The university's Woodson Research Center lists a file titled Purity Test, 1990s in its Rice PRIDE records. This catalogue entry documents a purity-test item in the university archives; it does not establish when the modern 100-question list was first created.

How is the Rice Purity Test score calculated?
Understanding Your Rice Purity Test Score
Your rice purity test score is calculated as 100 minus the number of "Yes" answers. For example, if you check 25 items, your score is 100 − 25 = 75. No checked items gives a score of 100; checking all 100 items gives a score of 0. Each item has equal weight.
- Confirm that you are 18 or older to open the questionnaire.
- Check only the experiences you have had. Leave the other items unchecked.
- Select Calculate My Rice Purity Score to view your result.
Score Interpretation
- Higher score (90–100) means you checked 0–10 listed experiences.
- Lower score (0–50) means you checked 50–100 listed experiences.
A higher or lower score is not better or worse. These ranges are simple counts, not population averages or percentiles. Read our score meanings guide for more context.
What should you keep in mind before taking the test?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rice Purity Test anonymous?
No account or name is required. Individual answers stay in your browser's memory and are not sent to our server. Reloading the page resets them. The site uses analytics for usage events, including the number of checked items when a test is completed.
How accurate is the Rice Purity Test?
The score accurately counts your unchecked items, but it is not a scientific measure of personality, maturity, morality, or health. It depends on your self-reported answers and is intended for entertainment and self-reflection.
What does a Rice Purity Test score of 75 mean?
A score of 75 means you checked 25 of the 100 items. It describes your answers to this checklist, not your character or your ranking compared with other people.
Can I share my Rice Purity Test score?
Yes. After calculating your score, the result page lets you download a result card or choose a sharing option. Sharing is optional; you do not need to disclose individual answers.
Why does the Rice Purity Test have 100 questions?
This website uses the familiar 100-item format. With one point per item, subtracting the checked count from 100 gives a score from 0 to 100. The question count does not make the test a validated assessment.
