ABSTRACT: Nowadays, a lot of people suffers on mental disabilities, including children. This disabilities can give a serious change for a child's actions especially to the way they behave, or control their own emotions. Draw-a-Person (DAP) test is a human figure drawing test which is meant to be administered for children. It is a projective test, which allows the examinee to respond to questions through drawings. On the DAP Test Mobile Application applied with ShortStraw Algorithm, the examinee will draw a person then will be recognized its strokes with ShortStraw Algorithm. These recognized strokes will be evaluated and be scored based on Goodenough DAP Test Manual. The simplified Draw-A-Person test manual helped the application produce accurate results with the limited data covered by the system. The researchers came up with simpler criteria, while still covering the original DAP test manual to further produce fair and accurate mental age from the score evaluated. It is proven that ShortStraw Algorithm applied in Mobile Application for Draw-A-Person Test is the best algorithm in terms of accuracy, efficient implementation, and speed, compared to the other segmentation algorithms presented in this study.
