What “Had sexual intercourse with someone you met online?” means
Item 100 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Had sexual intercourse with someone you met online?”. Here is what the wording covers, where readers reasonably disagree about it, and exactly how much it moves your score.

Adult and sensitive content
The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.
What the question is asking
Item 100 closes the checklist by asking whether you have had intercourse with someone you met online. It is the only item in the last thirty that belongs to the sexual category, and its presence at the end is the clearest sign that it was appended to an older list rather than written as part of it.
Where people disagree about what counts
"Met online" has broadened enormously since the item was written. It once meant a stranger from the internet; it now covers dating apps, which is how the majority of relationships begin in many places. The item does not distinguish between the two, so it has drifted from describing something unusual to describing something ordinary.
The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.
How item 100 fits with the items around it
Item 100 is the final item and sits alone, immediately after the four academic items and far from the intercourse run at 22 to 46 that it logically belongs to. That placement, along with items 54 and 55, marks the modern layer added to a much older checklist.
How it affects the score
Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 100 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.
Final score = 100 − total checked boxes
The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.
