Maybe I'm not understanding the premise here. You can't learn higher TL IQ skills because you don't have the technological grounding necessary to make sense of them. It's not a set of specific skills you need to raise your personal TL; it's long-term exposure to the basic concepts of the higher TL. Chapter 9 of the Basic Set suggests one year of exposure to raise personal TL one level. Until your personal TL is raised, you can't even learn higher-TL, IQ-based skills, even by ultra-tech means.
