Rice Purity Test

Rice Purity Test Guide for Teens & Parents

Quick note: The Rice Purity Test is meant as a playful questionnaire, but younger players (around 13–15) often encounter it through friends or social media. This guide offers conversation starters, safety reminders, and alternatives so the experience remains respectful and age-appropriate.

Before taking the test

  • Set expectations. Discuss why the test exists and emphasise that no score is “good” or “bad.”
  • Toggle SFW mode on. The test on this site hides adult prompts when Safe-for-Work mode is enabled. You can always revisit hidden items later with a trusted adult.
  • Decide what to skip. It’s okay to leave prompts blank or stop halfway if anything feels uncomfortable.

Talking points for parents, guardians, or mentors

  1. Privacy first. Encourage teens to take the test in a private browser tab. Results are stored locally here, but screenshots or screen recordings can still leak.
  2. Respect boundaries. Make it clear that nobody has to disclose which prompts they checked.
  3. Context matters. Some prompts reference college life; use them as a springboard to discuss consent, peer pressure, and online safety.
  4. Balance curiosity with critical thinking. Ask, “What did you learn about yourself?” rather than “What’s your score?”

Healthy ways to share or reflect

  • Compare ranges, not specifics. Saying “We’re both in the mid-80s” is friendlier than trading prompt-by-prompt confessions.
  • Journal privately. Encourage writing down questions or feelings that came up, then revisiting them with a trusted adult or counselor.
  • Use the share card carefully. The result page offers a downloadable card—remind teens to avoid posting it publicly if that might invite teasing.

Alternatives and follow-up resources

  • Try lighter quizzes. See the alternatives guide for fandom and wellbeing options without mature themes.
  • Learn about score interpretation. The results breakdown explains ranges without judgment.
  • Set digital boundaries. Talk about who can see your social posts, DMs, or saved screenshots.
  • Seek support if needed. If any prompt brings up tough memories, connect with a school counselor, helpline, or a qualified mental-health professional.

FAQs

Is the Rice Purity Test appropriate for 14-year-olds?
It depends on the version. Many prompts mirror college life. Use SFW mode, skip anything that feels irrelevant, and debrief with someone you trust.

Should adults ask for a teen’s score?
No. Adults should focus on open dialogue and safety, not on collecting numbers.

Can the score be used to judge maturity?
Absolutely not. The test is descriptive and playful. Personal growth is better measured through communication, empathy, and responsible choices.

What if friends pressure you to share screenshots?
You can politely decline. Suggest retaking the quiz together with SFW mode on, or point them to a different activity instead.
