How to overcome online dating questionaire writers' block?

I have to fill out one of those lovely online dating questionaires, and am having trouble coming up with witty, charming things to say about myself. How to overcome this particular form of writers' block? You know the questionaires I'm talking about. The ones with the horribly general questions, like "Describe yourself," "Describe your ideal match," and "What do you like to do for fun?"

Desperately seeking Germans

How can I find young German people willing to answer a paid questionaire? I've never dabbled in market research before. How's this stuff done?

I need a small selection of 20-somethings (this is not scientific sampling), either still in college or graduated, to answer questions about the German education system.

Is 50 bucks for a 30 minute questionaire a decent rate for such young, professional types?

Almost anyone in the demographic will probably do, as long as they've passed through the education system. Informal leads are thus more welcome than agencies or whatnot, as I don't have time for all that.

Can I email university administrators? Alumni departments? How would you do this?

That's the long and short of it really. I need to speak to them in in the next 2 days (!).

Cheers MeFi.

Office technology survey questionaire

Where can I find sample questions and answers to create a technology survey of computer software and hardware in use in my office? The goal is to have office workers complete the survey on line using surveymonkey.com or a similar tool. I am an attorney who recently joined a medium sized law firm with four offices. The technology (sw + hw) in use is very out of date. I want to effect some change and help create a strategic IT plan. To do so I would like to survey the employees about all aspects of their use of technology at the firm. Does anyone know of such a survey form already available for this purpose that can be adapted to online survey use on a site like surveymonkey.com?
