Try adding a wait of 2 ms between button and drop-down.

Once you click and expand the dropdown further to click() on the desired <li> element with text as Tüm Soru Tipleri you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

Using xpath and text():

new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[@class='select2-results']/ul[@id='select2-question_types-sq-results']//li[text()='Tüm Soru Tipleri']"))).click();

Using xpath and contains():

new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[@class='select2-results']/ul[@id='select2-question_types-sq-results']//li[contains(., 'Tüm Soru Tipleri')]"))).click();
