Latvian term or phrase: augstu virs vidusmēra
I assume this is Latvian and I confess this is no translation job, I only just completed a web-based IQ test, in Hungarian (the page exists in different EU languages), but in the evaluation (a chart, showing the Gauss curve + my place thereon), "my" category suddenly appears this way. (I think this is simply some confusion about languages "from over there").
Could you please tell me what does it actually stand for?

I can't read Hungarian, so I am not sure what Erzsébet's answer said, but this is how I would translate this phrase into English.

neutral  biankonera: I just wanted to note it would be kind to respond at least in English since its after all an Latvian-English pair. It would be only polite and fair to all others. IMHO
