Keep the Speech Short - I

Unless you have an extremely complex test, limit the orientation script to a few paragraphs. Anything longer than that will not be retained by the participants in any case. Any instructions beyond two pages probably means that you are including actual test materials, such as task scenarios, as part of your script. We show two examples in Figure 8-2 and 8-3. Figure 8-2 shows a script you might use for a simple, exploratory test. Figure 8-3 has very specific instructions for a benchmark comparison test.
