Post your FIDE rating!

Hi fellow Lichess players!
I'm making a survey in which volunteers can post their FIDE rating here with the intention of making a graph and see how that compares to Lichess ratings on average!
Browsing the forum I've come across many people wondering how those were in fact relating, and the answer to this is just: you can not compare them, because the pools are different.
Surely this is the correct theoretical answer, and as chess players we all want to be proud of knowing theoretical stuff, right. But that doesn't stop us from making a statistical research to see if the progression is somewhat linear.
Thanks for you help!
Best regards,
FBD
@IDetestChess 2955?
There is no chance that you have so high FIDE rating!
Magnus Carlsen (NOR) is world top player with 2882 elo rating.
You maybe have 1955, but I think even that is pretty high for you.

My FIDE rating in blitz games is 2049, on lichess my blitz rating varies from 1750 to 2050. Reasons are numerous. Poor internet connection, android playing, overload etc...
My classical rating in the ECF is 115, but this is due to go up to about 125 after a couple of wins against higher rated opponents.

ECF is converted to FIDE by x 8 + 650.

(115 x 8) + 650 = 1570,
(125 x 8) + 650 = 1650.

My blitz rating is far higher, at 163 (1954 FIDE). I reckon as I mainly play old people in real life, it's easier to play blitz than on lichess, although my blitz rating has suffered since the 24 hour marathon. Before that it was fair consistently 1870 - 1950 here.
fbd, why would not the correlation be linear? I can't imagine anything that would skew the variables non-linearly.
Deleted all the troll posts with obviously fake ratings (and replies to them).
