Not sure if it can be tested, but I have noticed a pattern where the people that I find (subjectively) less likely to update tend to speak in absolutes, rather than qualifiers. For example, “Linux is so much better than Windows in every way” vs. “I like the flexibility Linux gives me, and I saved a few bucks, too.”

Perhaps that pattern is measuring how well people reject the affect heuristic?
