Stirner is usually classified as a psychological egoist. I am a psychological altruist.
Stirner is not easily to classify ethically, he likely is more of an ethical egoist than a ethical altruist but he does not rule out selfless motivations, and all moderate ethicists, like I am, would admit that both altruist and egoist motives may be good or evil, as studied on a case by case basis. I am an ethical or normative egoist.
Stirner is regarded as a rational egoist in that it is reasonable for people to pursue their own self-interest, and in generalized statement, I would be considered, overall, a rational egoist too.
