A person intelligence can be enhanced when he or she focuses and practices regularly. This paper aims to introduce an integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process and Data Envelopment Analysis (AHP-DEA) method for ranking the intelligence parameters of People with Epilepsy (PWE). In order to develop the ranking process, investigation of the effects of the patients' demographic aspects and the illness background on the intelligence parameters is essential. The proposed method is to rank the suggested intelligences that need to be improved which were obtained from ATIE, a psychometric test based on the Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence (MI). The result from this study is very important to improve the chances of PWE to be employed.
