How much ELO handicap is given for blitz & bullet?

Is a sustained rating in blitz or bullet considered the equivalent of a higher rating in slower or non-clocked modes of playing chess?  Or are the styles considered too different to really compare?

The average ratings for blitz and bullet are ~1135, the average rating for Standard correspondence is ~1385. The curve for standard correspondence is skewed toward the higher ratings too. 

Chances are that the average person's correspondence rating is at least 200 points higher than their blitz/bullet chess ratings.

I tried pasting the graph here, but it didn't work.

Thanks!  I knew I wasn't as dumb as I look!
