Even considering my dislike of Halo, I'm surprised they didn't include a question about Gephyrophobia (fear of crossing bridges) in relation to the Halo multiplayer level that is a giant bridge. I thought the name was kinda creative.

Only missed the Wiccaphobia one on my first try. Currently in the top 25... for now.

I scored 100%, with 10 of 10 correct on The Escapist's Phobias!. [br] [a href="/quizzes/view/145-Phobias"]Take this quiz[/a]

Yay for my knowledge of the Greek language!
I am sad though that the fear for long words wasn't in the quiz. Would have been fun!

Ok, I protest! For the question "It would be really unfortunate if you wanted to be a pilot, but suffered from this fear of heights." The possible answers are
a) Astrophobia
b) Acrophobia
c) Arachnophobia
d) Agoraphobia

Now I know for a fact that Agoraphobia is a fear of crowds (or something to that effect) and Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders, so that just leaves the other two.
Yet when I pick either of those answers I keep getting it wrong.
Edit: I verified my findings by checking The Phobias List [http://www.phobialist.com/]

13th! lets keep it that way since its my lucky number.
Too late, I've already taken over that spot, mwah ha ha!

Interesting quiz - some of those questions were just too darn easy, and others I was making educated guesses, but judging by how I got 100% on my first time through, I'd say it was definitely leaning towards the easy side of the difficulty spectrum.

You shouldn't.

The correct answer to that question is Acrophobia - leastways it didn't flag it as wrong when I answered that. Are you sure you haven't inadvertently picked the same wrong answer each time?

Also "Agoraphobia" isn't simply fear of crowds, it's fear of wide open spaces, crowds, or uncontrolled social conditions.

I agree that the difficulty level was pretty low since most could have been figured out with a little common sense and process of elimination if it wasn't already known.

The only reason it took me two tries was because I wasn't expecting the answer to the witchcraft one to be the stupidly obvious answer.

Agoraphobia is the fear of vast spaces, including things like fairs and markets, so crowds play a part. But Acrophobia indeed is the right answer, for it is the fear of heights.

Agoraphobia is the "Fear of wide open spaces or crowded areas" according to the Phobias List.
Also I picked that answer and it said I was wrong.
