Actually, artistic ability does not affect the score.  Kids who draw an
artistically sound, well proportioned, horse will not score any higher
than those that don't.  It's based on how many body parts of the horse
appear in the drawing, not on how well it was drawn.

Jung said that the difference betwwen very artistic people and
schizophrenics was that when both got thrown toward the sun, the very
artisitc people learned to fly.

I doubt it.  Most of the residential areas of Philadelphia proper I've
seen are full of vacant buildings, homes with broken windows, abandoned
cars, and a general aura of poverty.
