I know you aren't 100% serious but "issues understanding directions" is probably not strongly correlated with intelligence. It could very much be down to anxiety, diet, ADHD or other conditions. Unless we define "intelligence" broadly enough that transient or other factors are included. That might be valid but it's very different to what most people think IQ tests should measure.
