Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My best friend, Lisa, has to watch out for these people: they fear those who are left handed. What is the name of their fear?

Answer: sinistrophobia

Interesting phobia! Limnophobia is fear of lakes, enetophobia is fear of pins and aulophobia is fear of flutes.

2. People with this phobia need to keep clear of me--I love thunder and lightning. What is the name of their phobia?

Answer: astraphobia

I wonder where people like that would live? Here in Jersey we have thunder storms all the time! Chionophobia is the fear of snow, koniophobia is the fear of dust, and mnemophobia is the fear of memories.

3. This is an interesting one. This quiz wouldn't be complete without it. The fear of long words.

Answer: hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Every time I see this it makes me laugh. If you have a fear of long words, once you were told your fear you would have a panic attack! The word itself is 26 letters long! Oh well. Anyway, metrophobia is the fear or hatred of poetry, plutophobia is the fear of wealth, and panophobia is the fear of EVERYTHING! :-)

4. My favorite monster, Dracula, more than likely had this phobia: (one of many) the fear of daylight.

Answer: eosophobia

Yes, Dracula probably suffered from eosophobia. Herpetophobia is fear of creepy, crawly things, aurophobia is fear of gold, and samhainophobia is fear of Halloween. Dracula would never have that!

5. It's a good thing that my dad doesn't have this fear--he's surrounded by us girls! It's the fear of women.

Answer: gynophobia

A wife, 3 daughters AND a granddaughter! My dad would have to leave home! At least he has a son-in-law to break up the monotony! Antlophobia is fear of floods, Sitophobia is fear of eating, and Elurophobia is one of the many names they give to the fear of cats.

6. Anyone who has a fear of clocks should stay away from my house. They're everywhere! What's this fear called?

Answer: chronomentrophobia

In my room alone there are four clocks! Agyrophobia is the fear of streets, Peccatophobia is the fear of sinning, and Xenophobia is the fear of strangers.

7. My grandma lived to be 94 years old. Anyone who feared old people would have needed to keep clear of her! What's the name of this phobia?

Answer: gerontophobia

February 20, 1908 - November 25, 2002. You will be sorely missed by all those who loved you. Pyrophobia is the fear of fire, Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns, and Ichthyophobia is the fear of fish.

8. My buddy Gina is a musician. Those with a fear of music should run the other way when they hear her play the clarinet or the piano! What's their fear called?

Answer: melophobia

Chaetophobia is the fear of hair (!), Anablephobia is the fear of looking up, and Zeusophobia is the fear of God or gods.

9. I wonder where a person with a fear of houses would live. Maybe in a trailer? What's the name of this phobia?

Answer: domatophobia

Eleutherophobia is the fear of freedom, Hormephobia is the fear of shock, and Mysophobia is the fear of germs or dirt. I know quite a few people who fit that description!

10. I guess someone with a fear of people would have to live in Antarctica! What's their fear called?

Answer: anthropophobia

This is one that I can't bring myself to understand. How can you be afraid of people? Would that mean that you'd be afraid of your own family? Hmmm, drop me a note about that if you can enlighten me. Dikephobia is a fear of justice, Nebulaphobia is a fear of fog, and Psychropobia is a fear of cold.

11. I have another friend, Rebekah, that loves to write poetry. Some people even fear or hate that. What is their phobia called?

Answer: metrophobia

Didaskaleinophobia is a fear of going to school, Ecclesiophoiba is a fear of church, and Sciophobia is a fear of shadows.

12. I know some people that could fall into this phobia if they really wanted to. It's the fear of responsibility.

Answer: hypengyophobia

Most kids my age could definitely fall into this one. Ostraconophobia is the fear of shellfish, Dipsophobia is the fear of drinking, and Genuphobia is the fear of knees.

13. Some people even fear colors. If you fear purple, stay away from me! I wear it all the time. What is the name for this phobia?

Answer: porphyrophobia

Philophobia is the fear of falling in love, Pediculophobia is the fear of lice, and Potophobia is the fear of alcohol. More people need that fear.

14. Some people fear the color black. What is this fear called?

Answer: melanophobia

I always wondered how one can fear a color. But phobias aren't understood by all. Necrophobia is the fear of death or dead things, Metathesiophobia is the fear of changes, and Mastigophobia is the fear of punishment.

15. Sometimes I wonder if my niece has this, but no, she's just active. It's the fear of sitting.

Answer: cathisophobia

Cleptophobia is the fear of stealing, Catagelophobia is the fear of being ridiculed, and Carnophobia is the fear of meat.

16. This type of person either has to walk everywhere, or ride a bike. They have the fear of riding in a car.

Answer: amaxophobia

I would never be able to function if I had a fear of riding in a car. I wonder how that fear is acquired? A car accident perhaps??? Alektorophobia is a fear of chickens, angrophobia is a fear of anger or becoming angry, and anthrophobia is a fear of flowers.

17. Some people fear crossing streets or roads. What's this one called?

Answer: agyrophobia

I guess people like that would have to live in the country, away from roads. Anemophobia is the fear of air drafts or wind, agliophobia is the fear of pain, and ablutophobia is the fear of washing or bathing.

18. This phobia actually makes some kind of sense. It's the fear of accidents.

Answer: dystychiphobia

Although, they're probably the people that drive 2 miles an hour on the highway. It may make sense (a little), but if those people drive, they shouldn't! Dendrophobia is a fear of trees, Deipnophobia is a fear of dining, and Dentophobia is a fear of dentists.

19. These people also should stay away from me. I'm a full fledged computer nerd. They have a fear of computers.

Answer: logizomechanophobia

These people must not be able to function very well in our society. The condition can also be called cyberphobia. Liliapsophobia is a fear of tornadoes and hurricanes, lachanophobia is a fear of vegetables, and leukophobia is a fear of the color white.

20. For the last question, we'll cover everything. A person who has a fear of phobias.

Answer: phobophobia

Photophobia is a fear of light, Phengophobia is a fear of daylight or sunshine, and Phasmophobia is a fear of ghosts. All information was taken from www.phobialist.com. I hope you had fun!
