| I was surprised claustrophobia and some others weren't on here, then I checked the link. A quote: "in effect, my top 10 list of fears represents the top 10 fear-related searches at search engines like Google." I imagine "fear of commitment" is googled more often than "fear of snakes", but that doesn't say anything about its prevalence as an actual phobia.
On the same page he has the results of a Gallup poll, which I find are closer to what I guessed: snakes, public speaking, heights, closed spaces, spiders (and insects), needles, mice, flying, dogs, thunder, crowds, doctors. |
