It's more the fact that these are not all IQ tests.

That is not a fact; they are all IQ tests.
First of all, over 6 of the test listed do not give results in IQ points. So they're not nominally IQ tests.

Second, and more substantially, here's an explicit clarification for one of them (LSAT):

"The LSAT is not an IQ test. It does not measure intelligence the way IQ tests are designed to measure innate ability. A person who is very smart can receive a low LSAT score."

You can find similar declarations for the others (non-IQ) tests listed.

You really need to Google what an IQ test is...
