I've been playing chess here for a while. It seems to me that i'm vastly superior in bullet as compared to standard or blitz games (i'm 1600's in bullet and only 1400's elsewhere). This really worries me as it suggests that my instincts are better than my long term understanding of the position or ability to calculate. Honestly, I don't see what bullet chess is really good for since most bullet games are terrible. You play to make the lesser mistakes essentially. How do i convert a decent bullet rating into a better overall rating for longer games? Also, what does  a higher bullet rating, especially one so large, suggest?

"...most bullet games are terrible. You play to make the lesser mistakes essentially..."

As another poster recently wrote, here are my (very) sleepy thoughts.  Maybe the message here is to play your slower games the same way you are playing the bullet games - to avoid gross blunders, and not get overly aggressive.  Be solid, and let your opponent make the gross blunder that so often decides games below master level.

First, this has nothing to do with instincts vs long term.  Bullet rating is, of course, your instincts vs other's instincts.  Otherwise, you're suggesting you could blitz in 15/0 games and raise your rating (the only why this works is when they get flustered and don't play their own pace, which is fun to try sometimes hehe).  And so, long games are your long term understanding vs other's long term understanding.

Secondly, the differences aren't really 200 points, you just now hit a peak so really you'd want to just compare peaks (if 1600 was your established rating instead that's different i.e. keep that 1600+ bullet for 20-30 games).  Comparing the peaks we see only a ~100 point difference.

Your bullet games seem to be all 1/0. Coupled with a lare rating difference (100 points isn't that big) it would suggest your rating is inflated due to wins on time. 

Although as I said, 100 isn't a big difference, if you're interested to see if your bullet is inflated, try any kind of increment.  Play 50  1/2 , 2/1 , or 3/1 games and see what happens.

I've played a few different people at my club in 15 min games where my impression is their "initial read" is very good, but it doesn't progress much from there.  i.e. though talking and post mortems I see that in 5-10 seconds they see more and understand more than I do in the same amount of time, but after that it's as if they've gone about as deep as they can go.  After 20-30 seconds I equal it, and anything after that I'm seeing more.

Although I wonder if these guys could beat me in bullet bullet technique that seems to often confuse class players (and has nothing to do with your initial read) involves feigning attacks, consecutive moves alternate between areas (or sides) of board, and avoiding the majority of trades to instead build pressure.
