I think you forgot the generic type definition:

public T GetEnumValue(int intValue) where T : struct, IConvertible //  added

and you can improve it to be most convinient like e.g.:

public static T ToEnum(this string enumValue) : where T : struct, IConvertible
{
    return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), enumValue);
}

then you can do:

TestEnum reqValue = "Value1".ToEnum();
