Average Rice Purity Score by Age

One of the most searched questions about the test is simple: what's a normal or average Rice Purity score for my age? While there's no official database, years of self-reported scores give us a pretty reliable picture. Here's the breakdown.

Quick Answer: Average Scores by Age Group

| Age Group | Typical Average Score | |---|---| | 13–15 (early teens) | 90–98 | | 16–18 (high school) | 80–93 | | 18–22 (college) | 60–80 | | 23–29 (young adults) | 45–70 | | 30+ (adults) | 30–60 |

Remember, your score starts at 100 and drops by one point for each life experience you've had. So younger people naturally score higher, and scores gradually decrease with age and experience.

Why Scores Drop With Age

The Rice Purity Test covers 100 life experiences — from first crushes and first kisses to travel, parties, and more mature activities. The longer you've been around, the more of these you're statistically likely to have done. A dropping score isn't "bad" — it simply reflects a fuller life story.

High School Scores (16–18)

Most high schoolers land somewhere between 80 and 93. At this stage, common "point losers" are things like having a crush, a first kiss, dating, and breaking curfew. Scores in the 70s are also completely normal.

College Scores (18–22)

College is where scores drop the most. The average college student scores between 60 and 80. This is the most common age for taking the test, often in groups with friends. If you're in this range, you're right in the middle of the pack. Curious what your number means? Read our score meaning guide.

Adult Scores (23+)

By the mid-20s and beyond, averages commonly fall between 30 and 60. More relationships, travel, nightlife, and life experiences all add up. A lower score here is extremely common and nothing to worry about.

Is There a "Normal" Score?

Honestly? Every score is normal. The average across all users tends to hover around 60–70, but that number hides a huge range. Two people the same age can score 40 points apart and both be completely typical. The test isn't a ranking — it's a snapshot.
