It's not used often. I think it means "having a disposition to something". If you have a "disposition to" something, you tend to do that thing a lot.
"She has a disposition to gamble."
"She is dispositive to gambling."
I hope this helps!

If would be dispositive if he was just a giant head - this is the example I know. It's from an episode of House M.D.
