Rice Purity Test (Innocence Test) - How Pure Are You?
How pure do you consider yourself? The Rice Purity Test, originating from a student tradition at Rice University in the 1930s, comprises 100 probing questions to gauge your level of innocence. By taking this test, you'll uncover your true purity and connect with a piece of collegiate history that continues to resonate today.
A snapshot of your experiences
The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question checklist associated with student life at Rice University. It became an online way to reflect on life experiences. Here, you receive a score and a short result description. This is entertainment, not a psychological assessment or a measure of your worth.
How the test works
See your result
Your answers produce a score from 0 to 100 and a result label.
Put it in perspective
Read the description as a prompt for reflection, not a verdict about you.
What your score means
A higher score generally reflects fewer of the experiences listed in this particular checklist. A lower score reflects more. Neither end is a goal, a grade, or a ranking of people.

The five result labels
- Exceptionally High Purity
- Moderately High Purity
- Average Purity
- Slightly Lower Purity
- Significantly Lower Purity
These are the labels used by this test. They do not establish your character, maturity, health, or suitability as a partner.
Before you begin
Personal topics
The questionnaire includes sensitive adult topics involving relationships, personal boundaries, and risky behavior. You can leave the test if you feel uncomfortable.
No checklist to complete
Do not try an activity to change your score. Your safety, consent, and personal boundaries matter more than any test result.
Your choice to share
You do not owe anyone your answers or score. Never pressure another person to take the test or explain a response.
Is there a “normal” score?
There is no universal target score. Age, culture, opportunities, and the version of the questionnaire can all affect comparisons. The same total can also come from very different answers.
Country averages without a documented sample, collection period, and method cannot establish what is normal for a country. We do not use them as a benchmark here.
Practical questions
How long does it take?
There are 100 questions; allow about 10 minutes and answer at a comfortable pace.
Is this a scientific personality test?
No. It summarizes answers to a particular checklist. It cannot determine your personality or diagnose a condition.
Does a score say everything about my experiences?
No. A total leaves out the circumstances and meaning of each experience, and the checklist does not cover every part of life.
