What Is the Average Rice Purity Score for Adults?

Last updated:

Adults tend to score lower than teenagers on the Rice Purity Test. Over more years, most people accumulate more of the experiences the test lists, so lower scores are typical and carry no judgment.

Why Adult Scores Tend to Be Lower

Because the score simply counts unchecked experiences, it usually decreases as life goes on. That is why a score that would look low for a teenager can be completely ordinary for an adult.

There is no authoritative adult average broken down precisely, but the overall commonly cited figure of 72 sits within the young adult range, with older groups often lower. Context matters more than the raw number: the same score means very different things at 18 and at 40.
