Stubbornness is the act of being stubborn. It is a form of a personality trait. A stubborn person is someone who is unreasonably obstinate, headstrong, unyielding and determined to do only what he or she wants to do. Stubborn individuals find it difficult to change their minds once it is made up.
Some people believe it's good to be stubborn because it can help you achieve what you want. However, being stubborn can make you do some negative things just so you achieve whatever you wanted. It is not the same thing as the trait of persevering.
You can be stubborn and not know that you are. To find out if you are, there are some online personality quizzes that you can take.
