What checking 50 boxes actually covers

Scoring 50 means 50 of the 100 questions were answered yes. The list escalates as it goes, so a 50 usually covers all of online & modern life, with romance & dating, parties & nightlife and sexual experience partly checked.

Where 50 checks reach on the classic list

48.Been in a friends-with-benefits arrangement?
49.Paid for a sexual act, or been paid for one?
50.Taken a pregnancy test, or had a partner take one?

51.Been tested or treated for a sexually transmitted infection? — the first item a 50 leaves unchecked.

Question order is fixed, so this is where the count lands, not a guess about you. Two people on 50 can have checked entirely different items.

A 50 sits exactly halfway down the scale: half the list checked, half of it not. Nothing in the wording of the test treats one direction as better; the number only reports which of a fixed list of situations you have been in.

50 against the full scale

9 bands cover 0 to 100. The Experienced row is the one holding 50.

Every Rice Purity Test score band, from 100 down to 0, with what each range describes.
Score	Band	What the number describes	Detail page
100	Untouched	Nothing on the list applied. That is the ceiling of the test.A 100 means zero of the 100 items were checked. 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	One to five items checked out of a hundred.Between one and five situations on the list applied. At this end of the scale the checks are almost always the opening romance items; the alcohol, sexual and law-breaking questions are untouched.	Score 97 — Pure Soul example page
85–94	Mostly Innocent	Six to fifteen items checked.Six to fifteen situations applied. That is enough to cover dating and kissing without reaching the questions about sex, drinking or anything with legal consequences.	Score 90 — Mostly Innocent example page
70–84	Curious	Sixteen to thirty items checked.Sixteen to thirty situations applied. A score in the seventies or low eighties usually means the romance block is fully checked and the first drinking or sexual questions have started to land.	Score 77 — Curious example page
55–69	Average Explorer	Thirty-one to forty-five items checked — the middle of the scale.Thirty-one to forty-five situations applied. Roughly a third to just under half the list, which normally spans dating, drinking and part of the sexual block while leaving the drug and arrest questions empty.

25–39	Wild Card	Sixty-one to seventy-five items checked.Sixty-one to seventy-five situations applied. Three quarters of the list requires checks in every block — romance, sex, substances, and some of the risk and law-breaking questions.	Score 32 — Wild Card example page
10–24	Veteran	Seventy-six to ninety items checked.Seventy-six to ninety situations applied. At this point the unchecked items are the specific 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	Ninety-one to a hundred items checked — the floor of the test.Ninety-one or more situations applied. A single-digit score means answering yes to nearly every question the list contains, including the arrest, hard-drug and high-risk items.	Score 5 — Off the Charts example page
