How is this better than the notion of adjIQ?  I see two advantages
to using adjIQ over this concept:

With adjIQ, the "value" you receive from increasing your IQ is the same 
as before.  OTOH, the tada system would make each point of IQ inherently
more useful, but without increasing its XP cost.

With adjIQ, you buy as much as you like (and are willing to spend XP
for).  This makes characters more personalized, and can be used to 
account for less intelligent (but driven) characters who buy tons of 
adjIQ, as well as lazy or distracted genius-level characters who don't 
buy a point of it.

Or is there something I'm missing here...

(I hope the concept of "adjIQ" is generally-enough understood by all 
 that I can refer to it without defining it.)
