1. A computer-implemented method of adaptively controlling a user computer experience, comprising:
- administering, using a computer-implemented testing program on a graphical user interface of a computer and one or more data processors, a series of multiple tests to record user metrics;
wherein the series of multiple tests measures a user'"'"'s cognitive ability; and
automatically adapting a graphical user visual interface of the computer having a plurality of icons, each icon having a size and a relative position to the other icons outside of the testing program throughout the user computer experience, the size of the plurality of icons being adjusted to correspond to the user'"'"'s cognitive ability measured through the testing using the one or more data processors by adjusting one or more computing environment settings,wherein the relative position of each icon is maintained after adjusting the size of the plurality of icons.

Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods create a user environment tailored to a user'"'"'s computer abilities. A series of baseline tests are administered to new users for accumulating user metric data, and a database collects and stores the user metrics. Program logic is responsive to data from the data base, where the program logic is programmed to adapt the user environment to correspond to abilities measured through the baseline tests. The program logic is further programmed to adapt user interface controls to compensate for user dexterity abilities.
