And if so, then wouldn't that mean that David doesn't truly have free will?

So...what, if anything, could David do as a test to determine whether or not he has free will?
Can anyone suggest an experiment which might actually be able to test whether free will exists in a subject? (or at least might eliminate one possibility? or at the very least might be suggestive in one direction or the other?)
The question of free will has been discussed on this forum and I missed most of those discussions. Has the matter of a TEST ever been considered at length, though?
Just because such a test might not be readily apparent does not mean that no such test could exist (although maybe it couldn't).
It would be interesting if someone could produce the germ of an idea which might be able to serve as a test as to whether a subject has free will or not. The test might or might not include control subjects as well.
