I’ve been reflecting lately on how certain online quizzes gain traction and somehow end up shaping how we talk about identity, behavior, and even morality. One that stands out is the
Rice Purity Test.
Originally created for college students as a lighthearted "self-assessment," it's evolved into something more—shared in group chats, posted on social media, and used as a cultural checkpoint by teens and young adults around the world.
But it raises some interesting questions:
- Why do so many people feel drawn to share their scores publicly?
- Is it just for fun—or does it reinforce certain ideas about what's "normal," "wild," or "acceptable"?
- Does a high score symbolize innocence or just a different life experience?
- How does it influence peer pressure, especially among younger users who feel the need to fit in?
There's no right or wrong answer—just curious to hear how others perceive it. Whether you took the Rice Purity Test once and forgot about it, or you've used it in real conversations, what does it mean to you?
Let's open up the floor—thoughts, reflections, experiences, critiques… all are welcome.
