Frequently Asked Questions

It is a self-scored checklist of 100 experiences. This site provides an independent browser-based implementation for adult entertainment and reflection.

No. This site is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Rice University. Rice-affiliated archival and newspaper sources are linked on the history and methodology pages.

The checklist includes relationships, sexual experiences, substances, school-related incidents, and legal experiences. Because it includes explicit adult topics, it is intended for people aged 18 and over.

No. A score only counts how many boxes were checked. It is not a judgment, diagnosis, risk assessment, or measure of personality, maturity, health, or worth.

Start at 100 and subtract one point for every checked box. If 23 experiences are checked, the score is 77. Every question has the same one-point effect.

Check only experiences you choose to mark. You can leave any item unchecked or exit the test. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

No. Higher means fewer boxes were checked and lower means more were checked. Neither result is a moral grade.

This site does not publish a universal average or percentile because it does not collect a documented population dataset. Online estimates should identify their sample, dates, question version, and method before being treated as evidence.

No. Different combinations can produce the same total. A score of 77 establishes only that 23 boxes were checked, not which 23.

The quiz stores a small record in your browser’s local storage under the key rice-purity-test-answers. It contains checked numeric question IDs, the current section, completion state, a format version, and an update time so the same browser can restore progress.

The quiz does not submit checked question IDs or answer values to the site’s server. Normal page and asset requests can still create routine hosting logs, but the quiz does not add the checked-answer list to those requests.

Use the delete control to remove the saved record. “Delete and start again” removes the previous record and then creates a blank one for the new session. You can also clear site data for this domain in browser settings.

The result image is generated locally in the browser. It contains the score, checked count, neutral descriptive band, review date, and site URL—but no selected questions. Native sharing, downloading, or copying a link happens only after you choose that action.

Only share a score when you choose to. Someone using the same browser could see locally restored checks until they are reset or the site data is cleared.

No. The checklist contains explicit questions about sex, substances, and illegal activity and is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

Yes. You can leave any item unchecked, close the page, reset saved checks, or clear the site’s local data. Do not continue if the content is uncomfortable.

No. The checklist is not a clinical, legal, safety, or compatibility assessment. Seek an appropriate qualified professional for those questions.

The methodology page documents scoring, local storage, interpretation limits, Rice-affiliated sources, independent status, and how factual corrections are reviewed.
