Rice Purity Test

About the Rice Purity Test

The Rice Purity Test is a self assessment questionnaire that originated at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It was created in the 1980s as a tool for incoming freshmen to bond with their classmates during orientation week. The test quickly became a cherished tradition, passed down from one generation of students to the next.

Today, the Rice Purity Test has grown far beyond the Rice University campus. Millions of people around the world have taken this 100 question test to reflect on their life experiences and personal boundaries. The test remains completely anonymous and is meant purely for entertainment and self reflection.

Our Mission

We created this website to make the authentic Rice Purity Test accessible to everyone. Our mission is to provide a safe, private, and anonymous platform where anyone can take the test without fear of judgment or data collection. We believe that self reflection is a valuable practice, and this test can serve as a gentle mirror for your personal journey.

Unlike many other websites, we do not store your answers or your score. Everything happens locally in your browser. Once you close the page, your responses disappear forever. Your privacy is completely protected.

The History of the Test

The original Rice Purity Test was a simple paper survey. Students would pass it around during O Week, marking their answers with a pen. The questions covered a wide range of life experiences, from innocent first kisses to more adult encounters. The test was never meant to be a bucket list or a challenge. It was simply a conversation starter.

In the early 2000s, the test migrated online. It spread through college forums, message boards, and eventually social media. Today, the Rice Purity Test trends on TikTok and Twitter every year, with students sharing their scores and comparing their experiences. Despite its growth, the core purpose of the test remains the same: to help people connect and reflect.

What We Stand For

Our values guide everything we do. We believe that every person's journey is unique and valid. There is no good or bad score on the Rice Purity Test. A high score does not make someone better, and a low score does not make someone worse. The test is simply a tool for understanding where you have been and where you might want to go.

Why We Made This Website

We noticed that many websites offering the Rice Purity Test were either incomplete, filled with intrusive ads, or collected user data without clear consent. Some versions shortened the test to only 50 questions, which changed the meaning of the score. Others added tracking scripts that compromised user privacy.

We wanted to build something better. A clean, fast, and private version of the Rice Purity Test that respects your time and your data. No pop ups, no tracking, no hidden agendas. Just the test, exactly as it was meant to be.

Our website is designed to be mobile friendly, accessible, and easy to use. You can take the test on your phone, tablet, or computer. The interface is simple and intuitive, with clear Yes and No buttons that blink to confirm your answer. The test automatically advances to the next question, or you can use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate at your own pace.

Our Commitment to You

We are committed to maintaining the integrity of the Rice Purity Test. The questions on this website are the original 100 questions from the Rice University tradition. We have not added, removed, or altered any items. Your score is calculated exactly as it would be on the original paper test: 100 minus the number of Yes answers.

We are also committed to your privacy. We do not use analytics trackers, advertising cookies, or any form of user tracking. We never receive or store your answers on our servers. Your data stays in your browser.
