Ranking the Multiple Intelligences of People with Epilepsy Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Data Envelopment Analysis

Abstract

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

O Processo de Análise Hierárquica (AHP) e a teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas (MI): uma revisão de literatura com meta-síntese sobre a relação entre o método e a teoria

“…Em 2013, na Malásia, Rezaie et al [11] apresentaram o trabalho "Classificando as Múltiplas Inteligências de Pessoas com Epilepsia Usando o Processo de Análise Hierárquica e Análise de Envolvimento de Dados" que trazia um método integrado de Processo de Análise Hierárquica e Envoltória de Dados (AHP-DEA) para classificar os parâmetros de inteligência de pessoas com epilepsia (PWE). O método proposto serviu para classificar as inteligências sugeridas que precisavam ser melhoradas, obtidas no Teste de Habilidade Em Epilepsia (ATIE), um teste psicométrico baseado na Inteligência Múltipla de Howard Gardner (MI).…”

Neuropsychology of Epilepsy in Malaysia: A Narrative Review

“…Based on ATIE, Alimin (2014) showed that the intelligence profiles that are mostly possessed by people with epilepsy (PWE) are mediocre level of musical intelligence (40.5%), high level of kinesthetic intelligence (40.5%), high level of math/ logic intelligence (38.6%), high level of spatial intelligence (41.4%), mediocre level of linguistic intelligence (38.1%), high interpersonal intelligence (57.2%), high level of intrapersonal intelligence (58.6%) and mediocre level of naturalistic intelligence (41.4%). Similar studies were conducted by Rezaie et al (2013;2014; using an integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process and Data Envelopment Analysis (AHP-DEA) method for ranking the intelligence parameters. Neuropsychological profiles of 32 epilepsy patients referred for presurgical evaluation at the HUKM revealed that male epilepsy patients have similar neuropsychological profiles with female patients and those with left-sided lesion did not differ significantly with right-sided lesion on their neuropsychological profiles.…”

Multiple intelligence prioritization for people with epilepsy

“…A conceptual model for ranking multiple intelligences of people with epilepsy considering demographics and illness background has been introduced [7,8]. This model suggests using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to obtain the local weights score for intelligence parameters considering demographic of epileptics.…”
