| Score 70 — Good Kid 30 boxes checked | Top ~35-40% globally Above the global average (63-65) but below the college-age average (85) |
A score of 70 on the Rice Purity Test means you checked 30 of the 100 questions. Your score sits in an interesting position: it is above the all-ages global average of approximately 63 to 65, but below the 18-24 college-age average of 85. That dual context is what makes a 70 worth unpacking carefully — it is not high, not low, and means something different depending on how old you are when you take the test.

What Score 70 Means in Plain Numbers
A score of 70 means you checked 30 of the 100 questions. That is 30 percent of the test — three times as many checked boxes as someone who scored 90, and about half as many as someone who scored 40.
The formula: 100 − 30 checked boxes = score of 70
The global all-ages average is approximately 63 to 65, which means most people check around 35 to 37 boxes. At 30 checked boxes, you are 5 to 7 boxes below the global average — meaning slightly fewer experiences than the statistical center across all ages worldwide.
However, the 18-24 age group average is approximately 85 — meaning most college-age people check only about 15 boxes. At 30 boxes, you are 15 boxes above that group's average. Whether 70 feels high or low depends entirely on which reference point you use.
Which Boxes Are Most Likely Checked at Score 70
At 30 checked boxes, the pattern shifts significantly from a score of 90. A 70 typically extends well into the physical intimacy category and picks up some substance and social questions that a score of 90 rarely touches.

Category Breakdown for Score 70
| Category | Questions | Typical Checked | What This Shows |

| Romance & Dating | 11 Qs | 9-11 boxes | Most or all romance questions — full romantic history |

| Substances & Social | 19 Qs | 4-6 boxes | Alcohol, marijuana, tobacco — common social substances |
| Legal & Conduct | 18 Qs | 1-3 boxes | Maybe academic cheating, fake ID, or minor incident |
