Rice Purity Test: How Pure Are You Really?

What is the Rice Purity Test?

The Rice Purity Test started at Rice University in the 1920s. Students created it as a checklist of experiences. You mark what you've done, from holding hands to harder stuff like drugs or crime. Your score drops with each check. A perfect 100 means zero experiences. Most people score between 40 and 80 these days. It spread online in the 80s via photocopies, then exploded on social media. Teens use it to brag or compare. But it's not scientific. It just sparks talks about life stages.

Colleges still pass it around. Some print it on T-shirts. The test lists 100 acts. Mild ones like 'danced without leaving room for Jesus.' Wild ones involve sex or arrests. No judgments here. It's a rite of passage thing.

Why Bother Taking It?

People take it for laughs. Or curiosity. Friends dare each other. It shows how your life's going. New to college? Low score means you jumped in fast. Older? High score might mean you skipped some chaos. But scores lie. Culture changes. What's wild now was tame before. Plus, some lie to look cool. Others skip questions. Take it solo first. See your real number. Then chat with pals.

• Compare with friends safely.
• Reflect on your path. Regrets? Laughs?
• Track changes over years.

It beats boring icebreakers. Real talk starter.
