Rice Purity Test Score Meaning: Complete Guide
A comprehensive breakdown of what every score range means, from 0-8 all the way to 98-100. Understand your purity level.
Took the Rice Purity Test and wondering what your score means? This complete guide breaks down every score range so you can understand exactly where you fall on the purity scale.
How Scoring Works
Before diving into the ranges, let's quickly cover how the score is calculated:
- You start with 100 points
- Each experience you check off subtracts 1 point
- Your final score = 100 - (number of checked boxes)
It's that simple. No weighting, no complexity—just a straightforward count.
Score Range Breakdown
98-100: Pure as Snow
If you scored in this range, you've barely touched the test. You've had very few of the experiences listed, which could mean you're younger, come from a sheltered background, or simply haven't had opportunities (or interest) in these experiences yet.
94-97: Very Pure
Still quite innocent, with only a handful of experiences checked. You likely have some basic social experiences but haven't ventured into more adventurous territory.
77-93: Average Purity
This is the most common range for college students and young adults. You've had a typical range of experiences—probably some dating, maybe tried alcohol, perhaps got into minor trouble. Perfectly normal.
45-76: Below Average
You're more experienced than average. You've likely been in relationships, experimented with substances, and accumulated a decent number of life experiences. You're comfortable with who you are.
9-44: Experienced
You've done most things on the list. Very few experiences are unfamiliar to you. You've lived an adventurous life and probably have plenty of stories to tell.
0-8: Wild One
Almost nothing is left unchecked. This score is rare and indicates an extremely wide range of life experiences. You've truly explored what life has to offer.
What Your Score Doesn't Mean
Important reminder: Your score doesn't indicate:
- Your worth as a person
- Your morality or character
- Your potential for success
- Your value in relationships
It's simply a fun snapshot of certain life experiences. Nothing more, nothing less.
