And 28% of us have acrophobia, fear of heights, even though we may not be afraid of flying. As a result many of us like staying in hotels below the fourth floor.

 

Do you have a fear of deep lakes and oceans? That refers to 18% of us.

 

And what’s a safer bet? An overwhelming number of us have no fear of going to the circus. Less than 7% of us are afraid of clowns.
