What Is the Average Rice Purity Score for Teenagers?

Last updated:

Teenagers tend to sit on the higher end of the Rice Purity scale. The test measures accumulated life experiences, and teens have simply had fewer years to check off the listed items, so higher scores are typical and completely normal at this age.

Where Teenagers Usually Land

There is no single official teen average, since no authoritative dataset breaks results down by age. What is reliable is the direction: younger teens usually score higher, often well above the overall average of 72, and the number tends to drift lower through the later teen years as more experiences accumulate.

Individual variation is large, so two people the same age can land far apart with neither result being unusual. A high teen score is not a badge and a lower one is not a flaw, the number only reflects experiences so far.
