Rice Purity Test question 82 of 100 · Rule-breaking & mischief

Lied to a parent or guardian about where you were?

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

Lying about where you were to whoever was responsible for you at the time. It is close to universal among people who had a curfew and rare among people who did not.

The classic test weights nothing: this is item 82, one of 10 rule-breaking & mischief questions, and on its own it moves a score from 100 to 99.

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
