Conceited and selfish person (6)

I believe the answer is:

egoist

(Other definitions for egoist that I've seen before include "A self-obsessed or very vain person" , "A seld-centred, conceited person" , "Selfish type" , "Person with very a good opinion of himself" , "Conceited and self-centred person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
