History of the Rice Purity Test
The Rice Purity Test is a famous 100-question survey that originated at Rice University in Houston, Texas. First published in 1924, it was designed to help students bond and track their life experiences throughout college. Over the decades, it has evolved into a viral internet phenomenon, serving as a rite of passage for high school and college students worldwide. The "1988 version" featured here is considered one of the most classic and standard iterations, widely cited in student culture and online communities.
What Does Your Rice Purity Score Mean?
Your score is calculated by subtracting the number of "yes" answers from 100 (or 150 in the extended version). A score of 100 implies absolute innocence (having done nothing on the list), while a lower score indicates more life experiences. It is important to remember that this test is for entertainment purposes only. There is no "good" or "bad" score—everyone's journey and comfort level with life experiences is unique.

31 - 60: The Adventurous
You have gone well beyond the basics and probably have plenty of wild memories to share.
0 - 30: The Wild One
Almost everything on the checklist is familiar territory. Few boundaries exist for you.
