10 Tips Before Taking the Rice Purity Test
Everything you need to know before you start checking boxes.
About to take the Rice Purity Test for the first time? Or maybe you're retaking it after a few years? Here are 10 essential tips to get the most out of your experience.
Be Honest With Yourself
The test is only meaningful if you answer truthfully. No one will see your answers—this is just for you. Lying defeats the purpose.
Don't Overthink the Questions
If you've done something even once, check the box. Don't debate technicalities or frequency—just go with your gut.
Remember: There Are No "Good" or "Bad" Scores
A high score doesn't make you a saint, and a low score doesn't make you a degenerate. It's just a number reflecting your experiences.
Take Your Time
While the test is quick (usually 5-10 minutes), don't rush. Some questions require you to think back and remember accurately.
Understand What MPS Means
"MPS" stands for "Member of the Preferred Sex." It's inclusive language that applies to whatever gender(s) you're attracted to.
Your Score is Private
On reputable sites like ours, your answers are never stored or transmitted. Everything happens locally in your browser. You choose whether to share your score.
Don't Compare Obsessively
While sharing scores with friends is fun, don't obsess over how you compare. Everyone has different life paths and timelines.
It's Not a Bucket List
Don't treat the test as a bucket list of things to do. Some items are dangerous or illegal. The test is for reflection, not inspiration.
Consider Retaking It Later
Many people take the test at the start of college and again at graduation. It's interesting to see how your score changes over time.
Have Fun With It!
At the end of the day, the Rice Purity Test is entertainment. Don't take it too seriously. Laugh at the questions, enjoy the process, and share a smile with friends.
