Questions Grouped by Category: How Many Per Theme?

Physical intimacy and substances together account for 35 of the 100 questions, which means those two categories have the biggest effect on your final score.

Commonly Misunderstood Questions Explained

Several questions on the test use phrases that are not immediately obvious. Here is what each one actually means.

What does "kissed someone below the belt" mean?

This question refers to kissing anywhere on the body below the waistline. It is a euphemism that covers oral sex as a gesture (as in physically kissing below the waist) rather than the full act. It is distinct from question 13 (oral sex) and question 12 (manual stimulation).

What does "danced without leaving room for Jesus" mean?

This phrase comes from social norms in Christian communities where chaperones would tell dancing couples to keep a visible gap between them. "Not leaving room for Jesus" means close-contact dancing where bodies are pressed together. It appears in the original Rice University version of the test and has been carried into modern versions as a cultural reference.

What is question 69 on the Rice Purity Test?

In most standard versions, question 69 falls in the substances or social behaviors section. The specific content of question 69 varies depending on which version of the test you are taking. The number is frequently searched because of its cultural association with a sexual act, but the question itself is not necessarily about that. If you want to see exactly what question 69 says on this version of the test, take the test here.

What does "friends with benefits" mean on the test?

Question 96 refers to a situation where two people have an ongoing sexual relationship without being in a committed romantic relationship. Neither person is exclusive to the other and the arrangement is understood by both to be non-romantic. This is distinct from a one-night stand (question 23) and from casual hookups.

What does "made out" mean?

Making out refers to an extended kissing session that typically includes physical contact beyond just kissing, such as touching, holding, or embracing. It is more prolonged and physical than a brief kiss and less explicit than the questions that follow it in the list.

Do I count something that happened once?

Yes. Every question on the test is binary: either the experience has happened at some point in your life, or it has not. Frequency, context, and how long ago it happened do not affect the answer. If it happened once, it counts.

How the 100 Questions Affect Your Score

Because all 100 questions are weighted equally, your score can shift significantly depending on which categories apply to you. A few patterns worth knowing:

Substances account for 15 questions. If you drink casually or have used marijuana, you will likely check at least three to five boxes in this category alone (consumed alcohol, been drunk, smoked marijuana, driven under the influence, drunk in public).

Physical intimacy accounts for 20 questions. This is the largest single category. Someone who has been sexually active in a range of contexts can check a significant number of these boxes, which has a larger impact on the final score than any other category.

Romantic and relationship questions favor everyone. Questions like "fallen in love," "had your heart broken," and "been cheated on" are experiences that many people have by their mid-twenties regardless of other behaviors.
