Contrarian:

Someone who suffers from a cognitive bias known as reactance.

Reactance occurs when a person feels that someone is trying to limit their choices. 
That reactance causes the person to adopt a view that's contrary to what the group
thinks.

It's not a good or bad trait, but it does make cooperation difficult within the group
as insignificant issues often become time-wasting arguments for no reason other
than to feed a need to be contrarian.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-- George Bernard Shaw
