Personnel Strategies
Personnel also have strategic preferences; what amounts to a personality of sorts. These can be seen on the Strategy Preferences page:

However, commissioners can change these values by dragging the sliders.
There are four sets of strategic preferences, described below:

Effects of Strategic Preferences
Personnel strategic preferences are used to determine AI decision-making. If you play out your games in play-by-play mode, then personnel strategic preferences rarely come into play, because you are making those decisions yourself manually. However, any time you delegate responsibility for one or more aspects of the game in the Manager Options page, these strategic preferences will affect how your personnel makes decisions. Similarly, if you auto-play your games, these preferences will affect the decisions your personnel make during simulation.There are four sets of strategic preferences, described below:
