1. A method of adapting data processing system operational characteristics to a user, comprising:
- receiving, by the data processing system, a discrete user input from an input device;
assessing whether the user is able to utilize one or more other input devices;
for each input device able to be utilized by the user, performing a proficiency test for the respective input device; and
modifying an operational characteristic of the data processing system based on results of the proficiency test.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium that facilitate software configuration of assistive computer devices by automatically assessing a user'"'"'s capabilities through questions and tasks are provided. The analysis results of the user'"'"'s capabilities are then available to assistive computer software applications which may subsequently update their interfaces accordingly. A mapping mechanism from an external input device into a target software application is facilitated for software applications that do not include assistive technology features.
