Amazing mark, Mark! Thanks for playing 🙂
I got 20. Some of these are so weird..fear of nose picking, shopping and verse writing… I pity the people who suffer from these phobias.
You did exceptionally well, Dawn, getting 20 right when there were only 17 questions – you must let me in on your secret! Only kidding – well done 😀
I know some people with the mania version of some of those you mention 😉
