URGENT QUESTION: For people with French degrees, did ECCTIS request the actual paper certificate?

ECCTIS is currently requesting that I send them my diploma. I graduated from a French university and they take several months to a year to send the actual paper certificate after you've graduated. In France they use another document to verify that you've passed the degree program, for purposes such as applying to masters programs, and the actual diploma is rarely used.

I started the procedure with ECCTIS and they've since requested the diploma, which is on course to be sent to me at some point though I don't know when I'll actually have it (particularly since I don't live in France anymore). It could theoretically take several months.

I would like to ask for those that applied to an HPI visa with a French degree, did you have to send your diploma or did they accept another document? Do you know if there's any flexibility on this? I'm planning on maybe explaining that diplomas themselves are almost mever used for paperwork in France but idk how I could justify it to them in a way they'd get. I don't think there's any French government page talking about it or anything.

Thanks a lot in advance for the help.

Are IEIs always a bit "fucked up" internally?

I've seen from several conversations and resources that IEIs are supposedly a type that pretends to act friendly and accepting on the surface but is internally a bit opportunistic and sometimes amoral and even duplicitious. I heard in other places that that's a false stereotype though, so ultimately I'm not 100% sure who to believe.

What's y'all's perspectives on this?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I have looked at Socionics resources and deduced I am in fact an EII so thank y'all that commented on my previous posts and wrote stuff for me to read up

Are IEIs always capricious and indulgent?

I'm asking since I'm like 75% sure I'm an EII but not everything matches up correctly. I'm definitely an Introverted intuitive and both the EII and IEI descriptions fit to some degree but the former edges out the latter since I relate a lot to having Se PoLR while suggestive Se feels alien. Do IEIs always have to have a soft spot for displays of power and the sort? If so I can finally be confident I'm not one.

(Reposted since I fucked up the title the first time oopsie).

EDIT: I realized the title still doesn't make all that much sense since I cut down the text of my question a lot. Other stuff I don't relate to IEI descriptions on is teasing/nagging people and them sometimes being willingly "lazy" (for lack of a better word) and hedonistic. I'm a very austere and non-materialistic person that tries to deny themselves excessive unearned pleasure and I'm also very risk averse while interpersonally I'm diplomatic and warm. Hope this clears some things up ^^

What type is most likely to intentionally isolate themselves from the dominant culture around themselves?

Asking out of curiosity after some big changes in my life made me realize just to what degree I do this and have done it my whole life.

My guess is 5, sp5 specifically.

I'm visiting Paris with my girlfriend in 2 weeks. Will there still be a heatwave by then?

I used to live in Paris and to celebrate me graduating and us having been together for 4 months we'll be visiting from the UK in early July. Right before I left last year there was a horrendous heatwave and now I'm scared that it's going to be just as horrible for our visit. Can I expect the current hehateave to still be going strong in two weeks? Thanks in advance for the help!
