If you disagree with a statement, you never feel that it is true.
If you tend to disagree, you would probably never feel that it is true, but you might make an exception in certain cases.
For example, take this statement:
Cheating on a spouse is okay.
Whereas person #1 is happily married and might always disagree, person #2 may know a friend who was in an abusive relationship, and after cheating on her spouse, married the other man, who has treated her like a queen ever since. Person #1 would mark disagree, and person #2 would mark "Tend to Disagree"

Disagree has a very definite sound to it.
Tend to disagree sounds as though you disagree but could be persuaded otherwise!!
