Rice Purity Test Score Meanings Explained

Score 100-95: The Purest of the Pure

Achieving a score in this top tier is exceptionally rare. It signifies that you have had very few of the life experiences listed on the test. Individuals with this score are often seen as highly innocent, naive, and have likely lived a very sheltered life, far from the social pressures and situations that lead to lower scores.

Score 94-85: Innocent and Sheltered

Scores in this range are still very high. You may have experienced some minor "firsts" like holding hands, a first date, or your first kiss. However, you are still largely unexposed to the wilder side of life, parties, and complex romantic situations.

Score 84-60: The Average Person's Journey

This is the most common range for late high school and early college students. A score here suggests you have navigated a normal social life, likely attending parties, forming relationships, and pushing some boundaries. It reflects a healthy balance of innocence and exploration.

Score 59-30: Experienced and Worldly

If your score is in this bracket, you are considered experienced. You have likely navigated complex relationships, explored substances, and aren't afraid of a little mischief. You have a good collection of life stories and are comfortable in a variety of social situations.

Score 29-10: A Life Lived to the Fullest

A score this low indicates you have experienced the vast majority of what the test asks. You are a seasoned veteran of life, with few stones left unturned. This score suggests a life full of adventure, risk-taking, and extensive social and romantic experiences.

Score 9-0: The Ultimate Maverick

Scoring in the single digits is almost a badge of honor for some. It means you have done virtually everything on the list. You are a true maverick who has lived a life with very few limits.

What is a "Good" vs. "Bad" Rice Purity Score?

This is one of the most asked questions, and the answer is simple: neither. The Rice Purity Test is not a moral examination. It is a reflection of life experiences, not character.

• A high score (e.g., 92) isn't "better." It simply means you haven't done many of the things on the list. This is neutral.
• A low score (e.g., 42) isn't "worse." It simply means you have done many of the things on the list. This is also neutral.

The value of a score is completely personal. Some people pride themselves on maintaining a high score, while others celebrate a low score as a sign of a life rich with experiences.
