LOL Mostly argue to argue. I used to belong to a debating Society at college and cannot get out of the habit
-
Only to defend my views which are constantly under attack.
-
Usually I argue mostly for argument's sake. A friend will say something, something completely irrelevant like what time a TV show aired, and I will argue with them over what time it was on - never aggressively, but just until they give up and let me win. I guess I get satisfaction from 'beating' the other person, being 'better' than them. I notice my dad doing this and it really bothers me, so I'm trying to stop arguing just for argument's sake (it's one of my New Year's resolutions).

Mostly to reach a conclusion, but I have argued for every one of the reasons you listed before in one circumstance or another.

Lol, it depends what I'm arguing about or who I'm arguing with. If it's my little sister, I argue with her to beat her down and make her shut up. If it's my older sister, I argue to get my point across, all the time (her ears are blocked..).

my dad always said i should be a lawyer because i argue so much. he always told me that if you believe in something dont give in just because someone dissagrees with you.so i will argue my point till im blue in the face,i havnt talked to my brother in 3 years because of my own convictions.

i always have an ideas which are fix and i cant uruge with people about it.. but in some situation i like to urgue with the people to reach no solution..

I only argue if I'm one hundred percent sure I'm right, so there's no chance of there being a mutual conclusion. I like to argue until the other person gives in, or until we agree to disagree.

I argue for all different reasons, i will argue with my bank manager about charges and i will do this very tactically, i will argue with my hubby sometimes because i have a different point of view to him and sometimes just because I'm stressed..(bless him) so i think we all argue for differently with different people i know i do....

... NO ... I only argue when the other person insists that they are right and I am wrong, when I know for an absolute fact that it is they who are wrong and I am right ... but I will only try to present the facts ... if the other person ignores the truth and maintains their error, insisting they are still right, then I just let them continue after repeating this quote from Buddha ... "No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person."
