What “Cheated on a significant other?” means
Item 64 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Cheated on a significant other?”. 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 64 asks whether you have cheated on a significant other. It is one of the very few items on the checklist that describes a breach of an agreement rather than an experience, and it is the one most often confused with item 36.
Where people disagree about what counts
What counts as cheating varies enormously between couples, and the checklist supplies no definition. Kissing someone else, an emotional attachment, and intercourse are all treated as cheating by some couples and not by others. Because the item is self-scored, the answer follows the agreement that existed in your relationship.
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 64 fits with the items around it
Items 64 and 65 close the emotional run as a give-and-receive pair, matching the structure of items 62 and 63 before them. Item 36, much earlier, covers sex outside a relationship without any implication of a broken agreement.
How it affects the score
Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 64 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.
