What is Rice Purity Test?


The Rice Purity Test is a self-guided survey originally created by Rice University students in 1924 as a lighthearted way to reflect on life experiences and measure "innocence levels." What began as a 10 question survey exclusively for women has evolved into a 100 question test, widely recognized as a fun social tool for bonding and self-discovery, especially during Student orientation week.


The test covers various life experiences, from personal habits to social interactions, and assigns a score from 0 to 100, where 100 reflects the highest "purity." Over the decades, the test has been refined to remove inappropriate content and foster inclusivity, ensuring it remains a student-friendly and positive experience.


Today, we offer tailored versions such as the Girls' Purity Test, Boys' Purity Test, and Innocence Test to accommodate diverse preferences while staying true to its original purpose: encouraging self-reflection and connection.

Why Do You Need to Test Rice Purity?


At Rice University, we recognize that the traditional Rice Purity Test, while fun for many, can sometimes include content that may make students feel uncomfortable or anxious.


As part of the Well-being and Counseling Center, we've seen firsthand how certain questions in the original test can be inappropriate or overly personal, which may discourage participation.


Our redesigned Rice Purity Test is aimed at creating a safer, more inclusive experience. It removes harmful, adult-themed content and focuses on providing a lighthearted and supportive reflection on personal experiences.


This version is designed to respect individual boundaries, promote mental well-being, and foster a sense of community, all while keeping the fun and social engagement intact.


We believe this updated test can be a positive and healthy tool for students to reflect on their lives and share their scores with confidence.
