The Rice Purity Test is a self-assessment survey that measures your "purity" based on life experiences. But what does "purity" actually mean in this context, and what is the purpose of the test?
What "Purity" Means
In the context of the Rice Purity Test, "purity" refers to innocence or lack of certain life experiences, not moral judgment. A higher "purity" score means you've had fewer of the experiences listed in the test.
The term is used in a lighthearted, non-judgmental way. It's not meant to suggest that having more experiences is "bad" or that having fewer is "good." It's simply a way to measure and reflect on the breadth of your life experiences.
Purpose of the Test
The Rice Purity Test serves several purposes:
- Self-Reflection: Helps you think about your life experiences and personal growth
- Conversation Starter: Great way to bond with friends and discuss life experiences
- Entertainment: Fun activity to pass time and learn about yourself
- Cultural Tradition: Preserves a long-standing tradition from Rice University
What the Test Measures
The Rice Purity Test measures the number of specific life experiences you've had from a list of 100 items. It covers:
- Social experiences and interactions

It does NOT measure your character, morality, worth, or future potential.
