This is clearly written on page 17:

"After character creation, further talents may be learned by spending XP"

"To learn more spells or talents, she must earn and spend XP."

In order to argue that IQ increases give bonus skill points you must assert that the "further" in the first sentence means beyond the "bonus" skill points equal to the current IQ and also that the second sentence implies "... spend XP to increase IQ and/or buy additional skill points above the current IQ level."
