Abstract
Recently, Choi (Noûs, 46, 289-325, 2012) has argued that current accounts of intrinsically finkable dispositions lead to absurd consequences in certain everyday cases. In this paper I offer a new argument for the existence of intrinsically finkable dispositions, one which provides a new way of testing for the presence of such dispositions. It is then argued that, with this new test in place, Choi's examples no longer present a problem for the view that some dispositions are intrinsically finkable.
