Well, the answers were less varied than I thought; the top two answers were fear of heights and spiders.

Answers:

Acrophobia/Batophobia (Heights) 7
Arachnophobia (Spiders) 7

Claustrophobia (Enclosed Spaces) 5

Agoraphobia (Open Spaces) 4

Aviatophobia (Flying) 3
Hydrophobia (Water or Rabies) 3

Achluophobia (Darkness) 2

And 1 ptrs: Aichmophobia (Needles), Homophobia (Sameness or Homosexuality), Ophidiophobia (Snakes), Triskaidekaphobia (Number 13)

Interestingly, one person didn't put down triskaidekaphobia because he thought no one else would

I swapped fear of open spaces for fear of darkness at the last minute.. bad move

 

[Mooseman]

Woo Hoo..... But how did I get 27 points?
7+7+5+4+3 = 26 and that's the top 5 answers?
Am I getting this wrong?

 

[Spiderman]

Oops, I added wrong. You do have 26 points, which drops you into a tie with EricBess and thus gives him two extra points I edited the post.

 

[BigBlue]

How could I forget Claustrophobia? sheesh.... stupid, stupid, stupid...

This just isn't my game...

 

[EricBess]

Interestingly, one person didn't put down triskaidekaphobia because he thought no one else would

To be fair, I said that I thought it was less likely that someone else would put it than that someone else would put Rabies/Hydrophobia. And I didn't put it because I thought that anyone who thought of it would likewise think that other people wouldn't put it

Turns out it was the correct choice.

 

[TomB]

I forgot to submit my answers...

 

[Spiderman]

I stand corrected, EricBess

 

[train]
