German can also use "egoistisch".

I'd probably say "Du denkst immer nur an dich!" for "You're so selfish!" rather than using an adjective, though.

Genau!

Right, but what about attributively, e.g. "That was a very selfish decision"?

"Bei der Entscheidung hat er offensichtlich nur an sich gedacht"? :)

Probably "eine ziemlich selbstsüchtige Entscheidung" if I were pressed.
