Pick the right list first
How innocent am I?
A quiz cannot measure innocence. What it can do is count: hand it a fixed list of statements, tick the ones that have applied to you, and it returns how many did not. The answer you get therefore depends entirely on whose list you took — so start by picking the one that matches what you meant by the question.
Which list answers your question
All 7 lists here score the same way and keep their results separately, so a number from one is not comparable with a number from another — side by side, with what each one asks.
What the number actually claims
Whichever list you take, the arithmetic is the same: start at 100, subtract a point for every statement that has applied to you, and read what is left. The scoring page has the whole method, but the part that matters here is what it leaves out.
The number holds how many and drops which. Two people on the same score can have ticked completely different statements, and the list weighs its heaviest item exactly the same as holding hands. It also cannot go back up: every statement is past tense, so the number falls over a life and stays put in between. A quiz that told you how innocent you are would need to know things this one never asks.
Where your number will land
The same nine bands cover every list here. They are names for ranges on the scale, not verdicts about the people in them — every score from 0 to 100 has its own page with what that count does and does not imply.
| Score | Band | What the number describes | Detail page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | Untouched | Nothing on the list applied. That is the ceiling of the test.The top of the scale means every statement was left unchecked. The list opens with the mildest situations it has — holding hands, a first kiss — so holding the ceiling means none of those applied either. | Score 100 — Untouched example page |
| 95–99 | Pure Soul | A handful of the mildest statements applied, and nothing beyond them.A score this close to the ceiling comes from the opening romance statements. The drinking, sexual and law-breaking questions are still untouched. | Score 97 — Pure Soul example page |
| 85–94 | Mostly Innocent | Enough checked to cover dating and kissing, and little past it.Under a sixth of the list applied. That is room for the romance block without reaching the questions about sex, drinking or anything with legal consequences. | Score 90 — Mostly Innocent example page |
| 70–84 | Curious | Dating is behind you and the bolder questions have started to land.Roughly a sixth to a third of the list applied — enough to clear the romance block and reach the first questions about drinking or sex, with the drug and law-breaking end untouched. | Score 77 — Curious example page |
| 55–69 | Average Explorer | The middle of the scale: a third to just under half the list applied.Scores here usually span dating, drinking and part of the sexual block while leaving the drug and arrest questions empty. Both halves of the list are in play, neither of them finished. | Score 62 — Average Explorer example page |
| 40–54 | Experienced | About half the list applied.Reaching this range takes more than one block: the sexual questions are largely checked and the substance questions have started. The far end of the list — arrests, hard drugs — is still mostly empty. | Score 47 — Experienced example page |
| 25–39 | Wild Card | Three fifths to three quarters of the list applied.Getting this far needs checks in every block — romance, sex, substances, and some of the risk and law-breaking questions. No single section of the list can carry a score this low on its own. | Score 32 — Wild Card example page |
| 10–24 | Veteran | Most of the list applied; what is left is the specific and the rare.At this end the unchecked statements are the particular ones: a particular substance, a particular arrest, a particular situation that simply has not come up. | Score 17 — Veteran example page |
| 0–9 | Off the Charts | Nearly everything on the list applied — the floor of the test.A single-digit score means answering yes to almost every statement the list contains, including the arrest, hard-drug and high-risk items. | Score 5 — Off the Charts example page |

Questions people ask before taking one
How innocent am I? Is there a quiz for that?
There are several, and they disagree, because "innocent" is not one thing. The 100-statement Rice Purity Test counts experiences in romance, sex, substances, parties and trouble with the law. The Innocence Test counts ordinary life experiences instead — travel, work, money, loss — with nothing sexual on it. Both hand you a number from 0 to 100; they are answering different questions.
What is a good score on a how-innocent-am-I quiz?
There is no good score, because the number is a count rather than a grade. A high number means fewer of that list's statements have applied to you so far, which usually tracks age and circumstance more than character. Comparing two numbers only makes sense when both came from the same list.
Which quiz should I take if I am under 18?
The Teen Purity Test or the Innocence Test. The classic 100-item list names explicit sexual experiences plainly, which is why it carries an 18+ notice here; the other two ask about experiences without that content.
Can a purity quiz tell how innocent someone actually is?
No. It records which statements on one fixed list a person says applied to them, and the list was written by students in the 1980s about student life. It has no way to weigh circumstance, consent, harm or intent, and nothing in the arithmetic knows what any statement is about.
