Rice Purity score lookup
Every score from 0 to 100 has its own explanation page. Enter a score to open it, or enter how many boxes you checked and this page will work the score out for you.
The complete formula
Score = 100 − checked boxes
If 23 experiences are checked, the score is 77. If none are checked, the score is 100. If every item is checked, the score is 0. Because the checklist holds exactly 100 items, the number you check is also the percentage of the checklist you checked.

The complete 0–100 score table
Every possible result, the number of checked items that produces it, the share of the checklist that represents, and the descriptive band it falls in. Each score links to a page working through its own arithmetic. Bands are navigation aids for this scale — they are not percentiles or population comparisons.

Why two identical scores can mean completely different things
The score is a count, so it records how many items were checked and throws away which ones. That is not a limitation of this site's implementation — it is what the arithmetic does. The number of different answer sets that produce a given total is the binomial coefficient C(100, checked), and it becomes enormous almost immediately.
| Score | Items checked | Answer sets that produce it |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0 | exactly 1 |
| 95 | 5 | about 7.52 × 10^7 |
| 90 | 10 | about 1.73 × 10^13 |
| 75 | 25 | about 2.42 × 10^23 |
| 50 | 50 | about 1.00 × 10^29 |
| 25 | 75 | about 2.42 × 10^23 |
| 0 | 100 | exactly 1 |
Only two scores identify their own answer set: 100, which can only mean nothing was checked, and 0, which can only mean everything was. Every result in between is shared by an unimaginable number of different people with different histories.
What the category sizes let you prove
The 100 items are grouped into five categories on this site: Sexual (56), Social & Dating (15), Substances (14), Legal (11) and Academic (4). Those fixed sizes make a small number of statements about any score provable rather than speculative.
- Any checked count above 56 — that is, any score below 44 — mathematically requires checked items from more than one category, because the largest single category (Sexual) holds only 56 items.
- A checked count at or below 56 could in principle come from one category alone, so no score above 44 can tell you anything about which subjects were involved.
- Categories are an organising aid used on this site. They do not appear in the original checklist, they do not change an item's one-point weight, and they do not create sub-scores.
Each exact-score page applies this to its own total, including the minimum number of categories that total requires and one arithmetically valid distribution — always labelled as an illustration, never as an inference about anyone's answers.
No population comparison is implied
This site does not collect completed results into a documented comparison dataset. It therefore does not claim that a score is common, rare, above average, below average, or in a particular percentile.

Scoring questions
How is a Rice Purity score calculated?
Start at 100 and subtract one point for every checked box. A score of 77 means 23 boxes were checked. There is no weighting, no bonus, and no partial credit.
What is my score if I checked 31 items?
Sixty-nine. The score is always 100 minus the number of checked items, so 100 − 31 = 69. Enter the number in the reverse lookup above to open the page for any checked count.
Are some questions worth more points?
No. All 100 questions have the same one-point effect in this implementation, including the mildest item and the most serious one.
Does the score show which experiences were checked?
No. It is only a total. Different answer combinations can produce the same score, and the number discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated.
Can two people with the same score have had completely different experiences?
Yes, and almost always. A score of 50 can be produced by any 50 of the 100 items, which is about 1.00 × 10^29 different combinations. The total says how many, never which.
Is there a verified average or percentile?
Not on this site. This implementation does not collect a documented population dataset, so it does not publish a universal average or percentile. Figures published elsewhere are typically stated with no sample size, collection window, or method.
