This study uses the data envelopment analysis (DEA) interval efficiency to determine the priorities of eight perceived intelligence parameters skills by considering the people with epilepsy (PWE)'s demographic background. The results of this study help the PWE to identify their strengths and weaknesses where to improve the chances of employability in the job market and to improve their inherent skills for suitable employment. The ranking of PWE's intelligence parameters would describe the status quo of epilepsy sufferers with respect to their intelligence level. Gardner had introduced related activities, products, and suitable careers to each of eight intelligence parameters. Therefore, training the various recommended activities for an epileptic sufferer is paramount in order to be successful in the workplace.
