Measuring Frequency Occurrence in Handwriting and Hand-Printing Characteristics contains frequency occurrence proportion numbers for hundreds of cursive and hand printed characteristics in Tables 16 and 17. Each character in the spreadsheet tables contains the characteristic description verbatim from the database used for data input during the study. We are providing a blank copy of the database for your assistance so you can see an image example of the characteristic that accompanied the description.

It should be noted that the image in the database is just one example of the characteristic description and that there could be other forms in which the character could take but still meet the criteria of the feature description (see Figure 6 on Page 63 for an example) resulting in the characteristic being marked as present.
