What It Is
This test is a self-scored, informal checklist used for entertainment and conversation. It can be useful for reflection when interpreted carefully and without judgment.
How Score Works
Start at 100 and subtract 1 point for each checked item. The number is an arithmetic count of selected prompts, not a diagnosis and not a ranking of personal worth.
What It Does Not Measure
It does not measure emotional maturity, relationship quality, safety, mental health, or long-term outcomes. Context, culture, and personal boundaries matter more than a single number.
History Context
The test is widely linked to Rice student culture. Historical references exist in Rice-related archives and long-running student newspaper collections, while exact early-year claims vary by publisher.
