When you train a new skill, you get the same points as your level. Like a rogue who just hit 13 and trained Dual Wield will have 13 skill in DW but have a max skill of 65 or so.
Now, Research/alchemy/tinkering is capped by level. For Research at level 16 you have a max of 5 skill, but because you trained it at 16 you will get 16 skill. You are capped for 2 more levels. It should be white instead of red when you hit level 19.
