Rice Purity Test

The original version of the Rice Purity Test was published in the student newspaper at Rice University in 1924 as a questionnaire for young women. The purpose of the test was to find out how being in college affects the moral character and personal life of female students. But students began to add more and more intimate questions to it, and gradually the questionnaire took the form of a rather provocative vulgar pamphlet of 100 questions. That allowed the test to quickly gain popularity, becoming a fun way for students to measure their experiences compared to their peers. As a result, various versions of purity or innocence test have appeared in almost all US universities.

Some researchers believe this test is harmful because it reduces a person's experience to a mere number. Many students boasted about their low scores, thus creating pressure on their peers and encouraging them to act illegally and change moral principles. Some respondents also noted that they experienced negative emotions after receiving the result, such as regret, embarrassment, anxiety, etc.

Therefore, we want to focus on the complete anti-science of this test, as well as the very concept of "purity". The test scores are presented for entertainment purposes only; you should not take them seriously and, less than ever, use them as a guide for your decisions or actions.

If you feel like you cannot take this test with a healthy dose of irony and skepticism, skip it and move on to some other great Personality Test.

The original Rice Purity Test is significantly outdated, but we’ve revamped it with more relevant and modern questions. Our version is divided into four categories: sexual purity, moral behavior, bad habits, and law compliance, giving you a well-rounded assessment of your "innocence" today.

Interestingly, 60% of respondents score between 75 and 91 points, which is typical for people under the age of 25. Where will you fall on the spectrum?
