opinionatedness
Rigid belief holding
The quality of holding stubbornly to one's opinions, especially without regard for evidence or others' views.
Opinionatedness suggests not just having strong opinions but being unwilling to reconsider them: His opinionatedness made group discussions exhausting.
The word is awkward enough that most speakers prefer saying someone is opinionated.
