What is Rice Purity Test? Meet BFFs Grace Wetsel and Ella Menashe who added fun to innocence survey from 1980s
A new TikTok trend is taking over the Internet now and this time it will test your innocence. The test determines how innocent a person really is. Originally this test started in the '80s, famously called, the Rice Purity Test. It began as a survey of 100 questions at Rice University in Houston, Texas that was designed to assess a person’s innocence in relation to a number of different topics such as sex, drugs and crime. Now, two TikTok users have just come up with the latest version of the test.
Later this year, when the original Rice Purity Test went viral and people were posting their results, several people critiqued that the innocent percentage checker test is very outdated and hence, decided to create a new version of it.
What is the Rice Test?
The official website details the "Rice Purity Test also called a personality test, which is the survey created by Rice University situated in Houston, Texas. Rice University is trying to research intimate life through the various questions related to society, educations, criminal records, and many more. There are total hundred questions that help in assessing the innocence of a person. The rice purity scores vary from 0% to 100%. The 100% reflects the person is pure as gold, and 0% shows the person is pathetic or can say least pure. The Rice Purity test has created for fun, and students love to check their personality. Rice Test scores make them realize their character and help them to improve. Do not worry. We never reveal your information; you will be kept anonymous. This purity test sounds like one of the best surveys created by Rice University to know your personality in a better way instead of asking about yourself from the experts." The first Rice purity test took place in 1924 and was given to women. It had questions like, 'have you ever been drunk?', 'Have you ever cheated?'
What is the innocence test?
The description of the test reads, "Fun fact (actually really, really sad fact), the Rice Purity Test was made in the '80s. that means that it includes none of the quintessential 21st-century rebellious activities (think sexting, fake IDs and tinder). Welcome to two best friends' re-imagining of the classic purity test, we hope you have as much fun as we did. NOTE: The Innocence Test is not a bucket list, nor do we endorse the behaviors listed below." This test is created by two TikTok users from Oregon, Grace Wetsel (aka @50_shades_of_grace) and Ella Menashe (aka @ellemn0).
The person taking the test is supposed to answer a series of 100 statements that all relate to different vices from one's life. Some examples include 'Have you smoked a cigarette', 'Masturbated while someone else was in the room?', 'Kissed someone below the belt?', 'Massaged or been massaged sensually?', 'Had an orgasm due to someone else’s manipulation' or 'Sent a sexually explicit text or instant message?'
In order to complete the test, one must tick mark every question/ statement that they have done before, leaving the ones that you've never done unmarked.To complete the test, you must tick every statement that you’ve done before. Then, your results are calculated. And then, the test will tell if you are innocent or not, by giving you a nickname such as "angel" or "wild child" as well as a short descriptive analysis. This test follows exactly the same format at the Rice Purity Test but the statements are just a little more updated and apply to life in the 21st century.
