We're the rice people

Who we are

We're a small, independent team of writers and web nerds who remember exactly what it felt like to take dumb quizzes in a group chat at 1 AM instead of studying. We still do that, honestly. Now we just call it "research."

Everything on this site (every question, every result, every slightly unhinged blog post) is written and edited by humans who've lived through lecture halls, group projects and finals week. We test every quiz on actual students before it goes live, and we cut any joke that punches down.

Why rewrite it?

The original Rice Purity Test is a decades-old tradition, and a lot of its questions haven't aged well. But the ritual is brilliant: start at 100, tick what you've done, compare with friends, argue for an hour.

So we kept the ritual and rewrote the questions around the chaos every student actually shares: deadline panic, wrong-chat texts, questionable dinners and 47 open tabs. The result is a school-friendly take on the classic test that high school and college students can take together, anywhere.
