Rice Purity Test Questions Explained

Curious about specific questions on the test? We break down the categories and explain what each section measures.

The Rice Purity Test contains 100 questions across five main categories. Let's explore what each category covers and why these questions were included.

Category Breakdown

Social & Dating (Questions about romantic and social experiences)

These questions cover the romantic side of life:

  • Holding hands romantically
  • Going on dates
  • Being in relationships
  • Falling in love
  • Heartbreak experiences

This category establishes a baseline for romantic experience and is typically where most people check their first boxes.

Sexual (Questions about intimate experiences)

The largest category, covering various levels of physical intimacy. These questions are among the most personal and significantly impact your score.

Substances (Questions about alcohol, drugs, tobacco)

This category covers:

  • Alcohol consumption and intoxication
  • Tobacco and marijuana use
  • Harder drugs
  • Prescription drug misuse

For many college students, this is where they see their scores drop significantly during their university years.

Academic (Questions about school-related incidents)

A smaller category covering:

  • Failing classes
  • Academic dishonesty
  • Suspensions or expulsions

Legal (Questions about law-related experiences)

This category includes:

  • Trespassing
  • Vandalism
  • Shoplifting
  • Interactions with police
  • Arrests and convictions

Question Design Philosophy

The questions are designed to cover a wide range of experiences, from very common (holding hands) to very rare (attending an orgy). This ensures the test can differentiate between people with vastly different life experiences.

Interpreting the Questions

Remember: checking a box doesn't mean you did something wrong. Many experiences on the test are completely normal parts of adult life. The test simply measures whether you've had them, not whether you should have.
