Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The sun has gone, the moon comes out Fear and darkness are all about Selenophobia keeps you in with your spouse What is it about night that keeps you in your house?

Answer: fear of the moon

Selenophobia is the fear of the moon. The word comes from the Greek term "seleno," which means moon, and "phobos", which means fear. Trivial fact: Did you know that a blue moon is the second full moon in a single month? As the moon cycle takes about 29 days, a blue moon is quite rare.

2. Many people know triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. But what is a fear of Friday the 13th called?

Answer: paraskavedekatriaphobia

They should really come up with shorter names for these! People suffering from triskaidekaphobia also fear Friday the 13th, which is often associated with bad luck. As for the other choices: arachnibutterphobia is a fear of peanut butter sticking to the top of your mouth. Geniophobia is a fear of chins. Finally, genuphobia is a fear of knees. I wonder what people who are afraid of knees and chins do about it? It must be rough to be born with something you will come to fear.

3. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is, ironically, a fear of what?

Answer: long words

People suffering from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia experience both fear and anxiety when they see very long words. I personally find the term both hilarious and hard to remember. I also like the 'fear of hippies' options, though it is incorrect. And if you're afraid of easy questions, you must be scared half to death.

4. What is dentophobia?

Answer: fear of dentists

A fear of dentists is quite common. It is my opinion that fearing the person who sticks a drill in your mouth is quite reasonable. Fear of dentists is usually caused by a painful dental experience, and affects 75% of all Americans.

5. You can't use a car, truck, or van You avoid the city, if you can Hodophobia forces a rural life What is it that causes you so much strife?

Answer: fear of roads

People who have hodophobia, I sincerely hope you live near a train station. Hodophobia is commonly mistaken as a fear of travel in general, but is actually only a fear of roads. This commonly stems from a fear of automobiles, as roads are normally associated with automobiles.

6. You fear this aspect of religion Which led you to make the decision That you have ecclesiophobia So what is it that makes you go 'ahh'?

Answer: Church

Ecclesiophobia is a fear of church. This can lead to a fear of God, Jesus, pastors, and/or other figures associated with church. People suffering from ecclesiophobia may experience trouble breathing and an increased heartbeat, among other symptoms.

7. Few kids likes this, but scolionophobia means you're scared of it! What do you fear if you have scolionophobia?

Answer: school

Books and classes? Not for you. With scolionophobia, you aren't going to sign up for another degree or another diploma. Your fear of school keeps you at home and away from the whole learning process. Sufferers of scolionophobia often experience anxiety and heart palpitations. Maybe all you needed to learn, you really did learn in kindergarten. Hopefully.

8. I will try to make this question easy, though it may make the immature queasy. Philemaphobia prevents this expression of love. What do you fear when push comes to shove?

Answer: kissing

First of all, I would like to wish all philemaphobics luck in finding a girl/guy who loves them despite their fears. Philemaphobia is very rare and affects mostly children under ten.

9. One last thing for children to fear Lachanophobia is what we deal with here Though everyone needs it, we prefer cow or deer What is the good thing that most children fear?

Answer: vegetables

Lachanophobia is the fear of vegetables. Typically a childhood affliction, lachanophobia plagues some people far into adulthood.

10. This is a fear with sensibility It affects even those with fearless ability For no one is safe from phobophobia's reach What is the fear that sucks courage like a leech?

Answer: A fear of phobias

Phobophobia is a fear of phobias. It is an uncommon phobia, but sufferers experience extreme anxiety and stress.

What better way to round off a quiz about phobias then with a fear of phobias? It is probably the most sensible fear there is. After all, who doesn't fear being afraid?
