The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question self-assessment survey that measures your “purity score” based on life experiences. Originally created at Rice University, it’s now a popular online quiz taken by millions worldwide. Your score ranges from 0 (least pure) to 100 (most pure).

We use the authentic 100 questions from the original Rice Purity Test. However, we are not affiliated with Rice University. Pro Rice Purity Test is an independent platform that brings the classic test to a modern audience with enhanced features.

Most people complete the test in 5-7 minutes. There’s no time limit — take as long as you need to answer honestly.

Yes! The complete 100-question test is 100% free and always will be. No email required, no hidden fees, no subscriptions.

No. You can take the test completely anonymously without creating an account. However, if you want to save your results and track your score history, you can optionally create a free account.

For each question, select:

• “Yes, I have” if you’ve experienced it
• “No, I haven’t” if you haven’t

Be honest! The test is for your own reflection. No one else will see your individual answers unless you choose to share them.

Yes. You can skip any question by clicking “Skip question” or using the navigation buttons. Skipped questions won’t affect your score.

Yes! Use the “Previous” button to review and change your answers at any time during the test.

If a question is unclear or doesn’t apply to you, you can either:

• Answer based on your best interpretation
• Skip the question entirely
• Treat it as “No, I haven’t” if you’re unsure

There are no “wrong” answers — this is about your personal experience.

Yes! Your progress is automatically saved in your browser. You can close the page and return later to continue where you left off (as long as you use the same device and browser).

No. Progress is stored locally in your browser. If you clear your browser cache or use a different device, your progress will be lost. To permanently save results, create a free account.

You start with a score of 100 (completely pure). For each question you answer “Yes, I have” to, your score decreases by 1 point. Your final score is:

Score = 100 – (number of “Yes” answers)

For example:

• 0 “Yes” answers = 100 score (most pure)
• 50 “Yes” answers = 50 score
• 100 “Yes” answers = 0 score (least pure)

There is no “good” or “bad” score! Every score is valid. The test is for entertainment and self-reflection, not judgment.

That said, here’s the general distribution:

• 97-100: Extremely rare, top 1%
• 86-96: Very high purity
• 71-85: Above average purity
• 56-70: Average range
• 41-55: Below average purity
• 21-40: Low purity
• 0-20: Very low purity, bottom 5%

The global average score is around 68.

Based on your score, we assign you one of 10 personality archetypes:

• The Innocent (97-100)
• The Guardian (91-96)
• The Diplomat (84-90)
• The Scholar (76-83)
• The Free Spirit (66-75)
• The Wanderer (56-65)
• The Explorer (46-55)
• The Adventurer (31-45)
• The Maverick (21-30)
• The Rebel (0-20)

Each archetype comes with traits and descriptions about your life approach.

Your score is broken down into 5 categories:

• Romance (relationships, dating)
• Social (parties, friendships)
• Academic (school experiences)
• Adventure (travel, risk-taking)
• Digital Life (online behavior)

Each category shows your purity percentage (0-100%) in that specific area. This helps you see which areas of life you’ve explored more.

Your percentile shows how you compare to all other test-takers. For example:

• “Top 75%” means you scored higher than 75% of users
• “Top 25%” means you scored higher than only 25% of users

This is based on aggregated, anonymous data from millions of tests.

Absolutely! Many people retake the test months or years later to see how their score changes. You can retake it as many times as you want.
