what is a rice purity test

The Rice Purity Test is a 100-question survey that assesses a persons level of innocence or purity based on their answers to a series of questions. The test originated at Rice University in Houston, Texas in 1924 to measure the students maturity and innocence level according to their age group. It is a self-graded survey that assesses the participants’ supposed degree of innocence in worldly matters such as sex, drugs, deceit, and other activities assumed to be vices. The test is voluntary and is often used as a way for new students to bond with each other. The purity score ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 being the maximum score (bad score), while 0 is the least score (good score). The questions on the test are often designed to be provocative and may ask about sexual behavior, drug and alcohol use, academic integrity, personal values, and other topics that are typically associated with college life. The Rice Purity Test is not an official test or survey, and there is no formal organization or authority that oversees it. It is typically administered by students in informal settings, such as dorm rooms or social events. The test is meant to be a fun and lighthearted way to start conversations about personal values and experiences.
