Is it normal to have a much lower rating for faster time controls?

@StingerPuzzles said in #10:

Chess at different things (whether that thing is time control, web site, puzzles/games) have nothing to do with each other. They never will.

The only purpose of chess ratings is to determine who is likely to win in a particular pool of players.

When a blitz game ends the blitz rating of two people changes. Why does anyone think that has anything to do with any other rating?

You can look at the percentile rank of your rating as well
