Our Mission

The History
The Rice Purity Test originated in the 1980s at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It was created as a tongue-in-cheek campus tradition during O-Week (Orientation Week), serving as an icebreaker for new students and a humorous reflection on college experiences.
What started as a simple 100-question list shared among Rice students quickly spread to other universities and eventually reached millions of people worldwide. The test became a cultural phenomenon, remain largely unchanged in structure over the decades as a testament to its timeless appeal.

Why the Purity Test?
The "purity" aspect is intentionally metaphorical and humorous. The test doesn't judge you—it simply reflects the breadth of experiences you've had. A lower score doesn't mean you're "bad," and a higher score doesn't mean you're "good." It's just a fun snapshot of where you are in your life journey.
The appeal lies in its:
- Honesty: It encourages genuine self-reflection without judgment
- Fun Factor: The results are shareable and often spark entertaining conversations
- Tradition: It carries decades of campus culture and nostalgia
- Relatability: Most people can see themselves in the questions
