I wrote something once that could be seen as a generalisation of that. Each talent had a price in ST, DX and IQ talent points. So fighters with high ST and DX ended up with lots of ST/DXish talents, which a high IQ character would end up with lots of IQish talents. A justification could be that the training needed for talents also helped develop the attributes. It's basically the same idea but all three attributes rather than just IQ.

I think the system would have worked but I'm not sure it was a good idea. It restricted the choices available to players, forcing characters into a narrower range of possibilities, making decisions for them, and that's not a good thing.
