Need Help w/ Questions for potential hire

My company has narrowed their search down to 2 people. I would work directly with this person (they are a little more experienced than I am). My manager would like me to talk with them.

What kinds of questions should I ask? I don't want it to be too interview like - just a sort of want to see what kind of person they are and if we jive.

Thanks!

What are the best and worst traits of you your personality?

Tell me about a situation when you had to work in a team? Were you ever in a situation when your team didn't work out well and how did you handle it?

What are some of the career attributes that you admire (i.e. hardworking, smart, quick learner, etc)?

I think you may need to ask some 'interviewy' questions to bring out a personality a bit.

are you reporting to them?

how about:

if you found a mistake in my work, how would you handle the situation?

if your superior asked you to do something that went against your ethics, what would you do?

what would your last supervisor say was your best asset and worst liability?
