i too got schizotypal personality, but with all the 'personality disorders' they aren't really disorders unless it negatively affects your life, we all have a little bit of them all.
there is the mmpi-II that one is like 500 questions, the mcmi is about 100 (i think).don't worry about the label just ask so what does that mean for treatment. ask them what it is and why they think you have it. it sounds like your psychologist doesn't believe that fits you. Remember (as i think anothe babbler said) it's just a standardized test, which means it's a one size fits all (none).
take it with a grain of salt.and schizoaffective means that there are some attributes of schizophrenia and affective(mood)disorders combined. it's really not as scary as it sounds cuz they could both just barely be present and not a disfunction for you.
remember, only you know you best.
take care
