I think you can test for randomness, but it was meant as a hypothetical example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_ra...properties
In QM the wavefunction will propagate in accordance with the Schroedinger eqn and this is deterministic. However in terms of actually measuring physical quantities in regards momentum/position etc, this is not deterministic.
In reality, this probably isn't a question we can answer without a better understanding of how thoughts actually come about in the brain. If I had to bet I'd go for free will as just an illusion, but really I have no idea.
