What do the Rice Purity Test questions ask?

The Rice Purity Test questions on this site are 100 original, plain-language prompts for adults. These Rice Purity Test questions cover social plans, dating, relationships, consensual sexual experiences, sexual health, alcohol, nicotine and cannabis, other substances, consequences, and digital conduct.

Every Rice Purity Test question asks about a specific behavior rather than a personality trait. Read the complete sentence before answering: frequency, consent, timing, relationship status, impairment, or another qualifier may decide whether an item applies. The Rice Purity Test questions are not instructions, diagnoses, or a moral checklist.

This page renders the Rice Purity Test questions as readable HTML and adds search and category filters without recording an answer. Reviewing Rice Purity Test questions here never changes a score. When ready, open the separate private test, where all 100 Yes or No answers are required before a result appears.

02 · Method

How to read a question consistently

Apply these rules to the exact version you take.

  1. 01

    Read the whole sentence

    A Yes applies only when every stated condition fits. Words such as consensual, daily, within 24 hours, new partner, or without permission are part of the question, not optional context.

  2. 02

    Use the stated threshold

    If an item says once, one week, or a specific time window, use that threshold. Do not turn a precise condition into a vague impression and do not add an unstated frequency rule.

  3. 03

    Answer only for yourself

    Do not infer another person's experience, pressure anyone to disclose, or treat a score as evidence about character, safety, consent, health, or compatibility.

  4. 04

    Keep uncertainty visible

    If memory is uncertain, choose the ordinary reading you can use consistently. The score is an entertainment count, so honest uncertainty matters more than forcing a definitive answer.

04 · Context

What each question category means

Each explanation names the scope of a ten-question section and the boundary to keep in mind. It does not tell anyone which answer to choose.

01 · 1–10

Social & independence

Questions 1–10 use concrete events rather than personality labels. This section covers Travel, parties, spontaneity, and private decisions.

Reflection prompt: Which choices felt genuinely independent, and which were driven by pressure or avoidance? Apply every qualifier in the sentence—including consent, timing, frequency, or who was involved—before deciding whether it applies.

02 · 11–20

Dating & attraction

This equal-weight group contains questions 11–20. Its practical scope is First dates, kissing, apps, and early communication.

Reflection prompt: Do your dating choices match the clarity and honesty you want from other people? A similar event does not count when it misses a stated condition; the complete wording controls the answer.

03 · 21–30

Relationships & commitments

Treat questions 21–30 as a reading aid, never as a target list. The section covers Attachment, partnership, exclusivity, and secrecy.

Reflection prompt: Which relationship agreements deserve a clearer conversation now? If memory is uncertain, use a consistent ordinary reading instead of guessing what another person would select.

04 · 31–40

Consensual sexual experience

Questions 31–40 use concrete events rather than personality labels. This section covers A neutral count of adult sexual experiences.

Reflection prompt: Experience count says nothing about worth; consider whether your experiences were wanted, safe, and respectful. Apply every qualifier in the sentence—including consent, timing, frequency, or who was involved—before deciding whether it applies.

05 · 41–50

Sexual health & decision context

This equal-weight group contains questions 41–50. Its practical scope is Protection, testing, impairment, and informed consent.

Reflection prompt: Is there any testing, contraception, boundary, or healthcare conversation worth arranging? A similar event does not count when it misses a stated condition; the complete wording controls the answer.

06 · 51–60

Alcohol experiences

Treat questions 51–60 as a reading aid, never as a target list. The section covers Intoxication, consequences, coping, and emergencies.

Reflection prompt: Has alcohol ever taken more control, time, memory, or safety than you intended? If memory is uncertain, use a consistent ordinary reading instead of guessing what another person would select.

07 · 61–70

Nicotine & cannabis

Questions 61–70 use concrete events rather than personality labels. This section covers Use patterns, responsibilities, spending, and adverse effects.

Reflection prompt: Does your current use fit your priorities, budget, responsibilities, and health? Apply every qualifier in the sentence—including consent, timing, frequency, or who was involved—before deciding whether it applies.

08 · 71–80

Other substances

This equal-weight group contains questions 71–80. Its practical scope is Nonmedical use, mixing, injection, and overdose history.

Reflection prompt: If any use felt hard to control or medically risky, what support would make the next step easier? A similar event does not count when it misses a stated condition; the complete wording controls the answer.

09 · 81–90

Rules, consequences & risk

Treat questions 81–90 as a reading aid, never as a target list. The section covers Deception, property, discipline, gambling, and impaired driving.

Reflection prompt: Which past risk would you handle differently with what you know today? If memory is uncertain, use a consistent ordinary reading instead of guessing what another person would select.

10 · 91–100

Digital intimacy & boundaries

Questions 91–100 use concrete events rather than personality labels. This section covers Intimate images, privacy, identity, and online meetings.

Reflection prompt: Do your digital habits preserve permission, deletion requests, and safety for everyone involved? Apply every qualifier in the sentence—including consent, timing, frequency, or who was involved—before deciding whether it applies.

Evidence, history, and safety boundaries

The page separates this site's reproducible product facts from official public guidance. An archive record supports historical association only; health and consent links support safety context, not the quiz score.

1990s

A documented archive record

Rice University's Woodson Research Center catalogs a Purity Test file dated to the 1990s in the Rice PRIDE records. That proves an archival association, not that this independent site is official or endorsed.

Consent is ongoing

RAINN's current Consent 101 page says consent must be clear, voluntary, communicated without pressure, and checked throughout an activity. A checklist answer cannot replace that ongoing communication.

One CDC testing baseline

CDC guidance updated March 17, 2026 says everyone ages 13–64 should be tested for HIV at least once, while other STI testing depends on a person's situation and clinical guidance.

An alcohol emergency sign

NIAAA lists fewer than eight breaths per minute, or ten seconds or more between breaths, as critical signs of alcohol overdose that require urgent action rather than a quiz interpretation.

One short rule matters more than any experience count:

“Consent doesn’t end with a ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”

07 · FAQ

Questions about the question list

These answers clarify authorship, scoring, privacy, and the difference between browsing the list and taking the test.

Are these the official Rice University questions?

No. They are 100 original, modern, behavior-specific questions published by Test Rice Purity. The Rice archive record documents a Purity Test file from the 1990s, but it does not make this website, wording, or score an official university service.

What counts as Yes?

Choose Yes only when the complete statement applies to your own experience. Keep every condition in view, including consent, frequency, time window, relationship status, impairment, or permission. A roughly similar event is not automatically the same event.

Does searching this page save an answer?

No. Search and category filtering only hide or show server-rendered list items in the current page. They do not mark Yes or No, calculate a score, create an account, or place an answer in the URL.

Why are all categories worth ten points?

This site uses ten questions in each of ten categories and subtracts one point for every Yes. Equal arithmetic makes the formula reproducible, but it does not mean the experiences have equal significance, risk, recency, or emotional context.
