I can't answer the poll, because you didn't include an "all of the above." I've noticed that my hideous stubborn traits can be situational: not just subjects, but people.

In some situations, such as passionate discussions with my husband about "issues," I find myself saying "you know, you have some very valid points and I do believe you're right and I'm wrong."

When I'm convinced I'm right (note: not that I *am* right, just that I'm *convinced* that I am) I can be a total bitch to contend with. It's a character flaw, not a virture. "Sticking to your guns" is considered a good trait by some...but it can also be one big hole in logic and rational thought, which is never good.

Good answer, though, number 2 should cover it.
