Seminar Task: Speed Dating

I was instructed to prepare a series of questions that may help me to identify people I would want to or be able to work with on future projects as an exercise to get to know the group and to assess what qualities I value in a work partner. Although it is just a bit of fun I should be aware of what my choice of questions will say about me to the interviewee as the subject will form an opinion as they are questioned. And I tried not to give leaning questions (even if I am hoping for very specific answers) to get a more accurate assessment of the individual.
