Abstract
⺠Documents bias in expert judgments about free will and moral responsibility. ⺠Challenges the expertise defense used to insulate philosophers' reasoning. ⺠Shows that bias is predicted by a heritable personality trait (i.e., extraversion). ⺠Introduces a reliable, validated test of expert knowledge in free will debates. ⺠Implications for the practice of philosophy and professional ethics (law, medicine).
