In our world we often talk about the interaction, communication, contact and mutual understanding. But as for computers and technologies, there's a lot of words about the quality of the product and nothing about how person interacts with the computer and how it is possible to make this interaction beneficial and successful.
Usually we adjust to each other in the process of communication. So, if you will talk to the deaf, you will not use oral speech but of course, will use the sign language. Typically, these changes affect both partners of the communication. Interaction between computer and human differs very much. People spend enormous efforts in order to humanize the computer, for example, we could consider some special opportunities "to talk to a computer", such as voice control, but it's impossible to say that a common language have been already found: the computer can't take into account your psychological characteristics, your mood and change itself in accordance with your personality, adapt the speed of its operations to your thinking, change system messages to the most familiar to you vocabulary.
What persons are more adaptive to the computer? What qualities the person should or might have.
As we are talking about the adaptation and important qualities, I suppose that it is primarily intelligence. It is the main factor of the successful adaptation. Intellect is the guarantee that your employee will be able to understand and find the most effective solutions in unusual situations. It is rumored that the bear can be taught to dance. But are you looking for an employee who can only clumsily push the buttons without thinking about consequences. In the best case, a company with such staff is doomed to failure.
Accuracy is becoming more and more important. It's a necessity. This requires from person working at the computer to be careful, be able to focus on objects for a long time, to track even small changes with them. For example, when you are working with databases, it is difficult not to drown in the stream of information and control desired information.
However, besides these general requirements, you need to take into account the specific features of personality. For example, the temperament that characterizes the man's dynamic. It is excellent if the man and the software are similar on these qualities, they become the parts of smoothly functioning mechanism. In such case, their work can be compared with the g**e of ping-pong. They carefully and methodically do their job, without extra sighs, screams and hassles.
Surely you have met with people who need ample time for thinking and reflection. They feel themselves uncomfortable in situations that require making decisions quickly, performing multiple operations in a short period of time. In such situation, they look like people who are always trying to catch the departed train.
Another type is complete opposite. They are impulsive; they just need to make life rotating around the world. Sure, you met the person, who works on the computer, and when he is waiting until computer executes the command, he is impatiently tapping by his fingers on the keyboard, and sometimes even repeats the same command 10 times, trying every possible way to expedite its work. For them, the speed of technology is one of the decisive factors, which can save them from negative emotions and mistakes.
There is no software that can adjust to human character. Perhaps it is the task of the future of information technologies development. Meanwhile, a man has to adapt to the computer. And, please, do not forget that you shouldn't be excluded from communication with people. Only by using combination of these types of interaction success can be achieved.

And what about you and your employees interaction with computers?

AZA_admin you are right! But will you hire to work each person who have 0 experience? Is any guarantee that he will learn and thrive?
In our article we didn't touch a topic of qualification, as even people with equal experience but different psychological characteristics have various progress. And this rule make the problem of occupational selection actual for ages.
