The Rice Purity Test originated as a traditional self-graded survey at Rice University, designed to track the 'innocence' of students through 100 questions regarding social habits, substances, and relationships. It eventually escaped the campus and became a global internet phenomenon, serving as a digital rite of passage for young adults. In meme culture, the test is less about the actual survey and more about the shock or pride associated with one's final score. Users frequently post their numeric results on TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit to signal their personality type—ranging from 'angelic' high scores to 'rebellious' low scores—often sparking viral discussions and comparisons within friend groups and online communities.
