What Is a Good Rice Purity Score?

It's the question everyone asks after getting their result: is my score good? The honest answer is that there's no universally "good" or "bad" score — but let's break down what people usually mean.

High Score vs. Low Score: What's the Difference?

• A high score (closer to 100) means you've done fewer of the listed activities — you're more "innocent" by the test's definition.
• A low score (closer to 0) means you've had more life experiences.

Neither is objectively better. It completely depends on your personal values and what you're proud of.

What Counts as a "Good" Score?

If by "good" you mean innocent/pure, then:

• 90–100 — Very pure. Common for teens and younger students.
• 77–89 — Above average purity. A balanced mix of experiences.
• 60–76 — Right around the typical college average.
• 45–59 — Adventurous; you've lived a bit.
• Below 45 — Very experienced; lots of stories to tell.

But if by "good" you mean fun and full of stories, then a lower score might be exactly what you want!

Why There's No Wrong Answer

The Rice Purity Test was never meant to judge anyone. It started as a lighthearted bonding activity. Some people proudly share a 95; others proudly share a 25. Both are valid, and both tell a unique story about a life being lived.

What's a Good Score for My Age?

Context matters. A 65 is high for a 30-year-old but low for a 15-year-old. For a full breakdown, see our guide on the average Rice Purity score by age.

Should You Try to Change Your Score?

Please don't! The test is not a bucket list or a challenge. Chasing a lower score by doing risky things completely misses the point. Take it honestly, laugh at your result, and move on.
