How this guide was checked
These notes show which references were checked and how to read the score with the right caveats.
Self-graded survey, not a formal assessment
The Rice Purity Test is read as a self-graded 100-item survey: a higher score generally means fewer checked items, while a lower score generally means more checked items.
Original context was social and voluntary
The official ricepuritytest.com wording describes it as a voluntary O-week bonding and self-reflection activity at Rice and cautions that it is not a bucket list.
Student-survey history changed over time
Rice University and Rice Thresher history describe purity tests as informal student surveys that were revised over time rather than fixed clinical instruments.
Ranges are interpretive conventions
Modern score bands on public score-guide pages are useful reading aids, not official clinical categories or moral labels.
