What “Had your heart broken?” means

Item 62 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Had your heart broken?”. 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 62 asks whether you have had your heart broken. Like item 61 it describes something that happened to you rather than something you did, which makes it one of the items least suited to a checklist framed around transgression.

Where people disagree about what counts

The threshold is entirely personal. A short relationship ending badly can be genuine heartbreak and a long one ending amicably may not be. Most takers treat the item as satisfied by any breakup that caused lasting distress.

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 62 fits with the items around it

Items 62 and 63 are a matched pair written from each side — having your heart broken and breaking someone else's — in exactly the same way items 64 and 65 split cheating into the two roles. That symmetry is the defining feature of the emotional run.

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 62 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.

Questions about item 62

Does an unrequited crush count for item 62?
The checklist does not define heartbreak. Most takers require an actual relationship or a mutual attachment that ended, but the item leaves it open.
How is item 62 different from item 65?
Item 65 is specifically being cheated on. Item 62 covers heartbreak from any cause, including breakups where nothing went wrong.
Do items 62 and 63 both apply to me?
They often do. They are the two sides of the same experience and many people have been on both, which costs two points.
