self-opinionated
Won't consider alternatives
Self-opinionated describes someone excessively attached to their own views, unwilling to consider alternatives or admit error.
The word carries more criticism than simply having opinions—it suggests stubbornness and a dismissive attitude toward others' perspectives: He's too self-opinionated to take advice from anyone.
