For example, they don't always use proper sentence structure, punctuation, or use proper grammar. Their sentences aren't very complex. Is it possible that this person could be a poor writer, yet be intelligent at the same time? For example, they didn't take many composition/ english courses in college. And they didn't pay attention in the ones that they did take. But they still somehow aced college as a political science major. And some of their instructors would state, the writing seems to be the problem here on their essay tests that they returned to them. They had a good understanding of the lectures and text, had good critical thinking skills, but they couldn't express their thoughts in a well written manner. And in personal letters/ emails they find that folks that didn't attend college or have take few courses have better writing skills than them. Yeah, let's use that as a HYPOTHETICAL example. Haha.
