Sounds disturbingly familiar.
I once participated in a similar 'bonding' exercise in which we had to list the qualities and faults of our colleagues, not including the team leader (who had assigned us the exercise in the first place). Of course someone misunderstood the instructions and slagged off the team leader, who laughed it off in an "I'm too professional to lose my cool and kick all your teeth out but senior enough to show how much I'd like to" manner.
