One such word is opinionated implying that someone is having a rather fixed opinion (on something).

"She just can't seem to take someone else's view into account. She's very opinionated."

M-W:

opinionated adjective

: firmly or unduly adhering to one's own opinion or to preconceived notions
… focus groups, which tend to be dominated by the loudest and most opinionated people … — James Surowiecki
