Rice Purity Test question 1 of 100 · Romance & dating
“Held hands romantically?”
Nobody has opted in to share their answers yet, so this page cannot tell you how often the box gets ticked. What it can tell you is exactly what the box means and what it does to a score.
What this question is actually asking
The list opens with the mildest physical contact it can name: hands held on purpose, by two people who both meant it that way. A parent's hand at a crossing does not count and neither does a handshake, so the item turns on intent — which is the distinction the whole questionnaire runs on.
A single point rides on this box — the same as on the question before it and the question after it. It is number 1 of 100, and 21 of those hundred belong to the romance & dating group.
What it is worth, test by test
Each questionnaire divides 100 points across its own question set, so the same idea is worth different amounts depending on which test you took.

A matching row means the wording is close, not identical — the sets were written separately, so treat it as the nearest equivalent rather than the same question.
Where it sits in the list
The classic list runs roughly from mildest to most extreme, so the questions on either side are the best guide to what this one is being measured against.
