True Purity Test

What is the Rice Purity Test?

Okay, if you’re just discovering this now, let me catch you up. The Rice Purity Test has basically become a rite of passage. It started way back in the 1920s at Rice University (hence the name) as this wholesome little survey to gauge students’ “level of innocence.” Now, almost a century later, it’s this viral purity test that everyone takes to see how they measure up against their friends.

How Does It Actually Work?

It’s simple. You go through 120 statements one by one and check off anything that applies to you. No trick questions, no weird redirects, no sign-up walls. Once you hit submit, your score pops up instantly. You can share it directly or just keep it to yourself totally your call.

Who Usually Takes This?

Honestly, everyone. College students take it during orientation week. High schoolers take it at sleepovers. Friend groups use it to settle debates about who’s actually the “innocent” one. It’s become one of those things that just brings people together in a surprisingly fun and judgment-free way.

How to Compare Scores With Friends?

Half the fun of the Rice Purity Test is comparing your score with the people around you. Here’s how most people do it: Take it separately first. Don’t let anyone influence your answers before you submit. Your score should be yours honest and unfiltered. Then reveal at the same time. Screenshot your score and share it simultaneously so nobody adjusts their answers based on what others got. Talk about the surprises.
