Even chess.com now does not allow you to set your own rating. You play 5 matches against people then check your rating, if you are a properly new user that is. If you are a old user and you want to create a new account to play at midnight half asleep, they will probably set it a few hundred points lower than your actual rating.
The problem earlier was that soo many people overrated themselves and thought they were experts.
People who don't know chess: I'm really smart(even though they might not be) so chess is super easy for me.
People who know very little: Begginer: doesn't know how to set pieces.
Intermediate: Knows how to set peices.
Advanced: Knows en passant and catsling.
Expert: actually moves stuff for a reason.
People who do know about chess:
Begginer: hangs peices.
intermediate: doesen;t hang pieces, misses most tactics but finds some.
advanced: finds most tactics rated on chess.com up till 2000(their puzzles rating is more, but they don't find those in a real game). Gets positional ideas
expert 2000+ finds almost all tactics, gets a lot of positional ideas, and even executes them okay.
Master: Has a title.

There's already been some studies of that and surveys, here's one from 2016 Chess Rating Comparison 2016 - Chess.com . Generally, online will be higher than OTB. If I had to make a guess, reason for that would be different view and psychological? Not an expert tho.
i would guesss that OTB games are less accessible, so less people go to them and its more competitive. online chess is just very convinient to get into while OTB games require more of a commitment.
I'm 1100 and in real life 830...
