Some people say they know what makes a good piece of art based on proven principles such as symmetry, the inclusion of human like features and a narrative.
Yes, but those people are wrong. They're the kind of people that think that "high" and "low" are genuinely meaningful artistic distinctions as opposed to being cultural signifiers. Sorry, I'm not even pretending to be objective on this question. [;)]

No it will never answer faith, there is no answer to that but I think we could easily test whether or not someone can detect as mass murderer by means of glancing at their spiritual wave patterns.
Sure. And when people make those kinds of claims (like the creationist crowd), that's when we can legitimately disprove said claims through the scientific method. If however someone is claiming that they can tell whether they should be wary of someone through intuition , I think we're outside the area where we can prove something either way. (And there's at least some evidence that people such as police detectives are generally better at telling when people are dishonest. Although, obviously, that's as likely to be unconsciously picking up things like subtle body language as anything else).
