Score ranges and what they mean
| Score | Items ticked | Range | What it says |
|---|---|---|---|
| 98 to 100 | 0 to 2 | Untouched | You have done next to nothing on the list. Enjoy the peace. |
| 90 to 97 | 3 to 10 | Barely started | A date, a kiss, maybe a hickey. The list has barely begun. |
| 75 to 89 | 11 to 25 | Some stories | You have been out there, mostly on the romance side. |
| 50 to 74 | 26 to 50 | Plenty of stories | Parties, partners and a few things you would not tell your parents. |
| 25 to 49 | 51 to 75 | Seen a lot | Most of the list is behind you, the wild half included. |
| 0 to 24 | 76 to 100 | Done almost everything | There is very little left to tick. The Thresher's caution applies. |
Example profiles and their scores
| Profile | Ticks | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Dated and kissed, nothing else | 8 | 92 |
| Whole first part, plus a few drinks (items 44 to 47) | 20 | 80 |
| First two parts, alcohol and tobacco | 49 | 51 |
| Everything up to the police part, no intercourse | 66 | 34 |
| Half of all items | 50 | 50 |
| All but the last ten items | 90 | 10 |
How the 100 items are split
The first 16 items are dating and kissing, the next 27 are sexual experience short of intercourse, then come 5 on alcohol, 4 on tobacco and drugs and 14 on school discipline, nudity and the police. The last 34 are about intercourse. Someone who has dated, kissed and partied but never had sex can tick at most 66 items, a score of 34.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average Rice Purity score?
No source we trust publishes a current average. The numbers quoted online are guesses. We will publish real, anonymous averages from this site once enough people have taken the test.
What does a score of 84 mean?
A score of 84 is what you get after ticking all 16 items of the first part (dating, kissing, flirting) and nothing else: "Some stories" in our ranges.
Which items lower the score the most?
None: every item is worth exactly one point. The last part, sexual intercourse, weighs the most only because it is the longest: 34 items out of 100.
Can your score go back up?
No. The test asks what you have ever done, so a score only stays the same or goes down over time.
