Does the pH paper measure the strength of an acid or a base?

No, it tells you how acidic or basic a solution is. The closer the pH is to 1, the more acidic spomething is. The closer to 14, the more basic. 7 is neutral so there is the same amount of acid and base. So if by strength you mean how much of an acid/base there is than, yes pH will measure that. Remember, the more H+ ions, the more acidic, and the more OH- ions, the more basic.
