I.D. a switch

Anyone know how to determine what type of switch is ON-ON ?

I have several mini switches in my parts box and i'm trying to choose one that is ON-ON.  I'm ignoring one that has 3 positions ( is that ON-OFF-ON ? )

Also ignoring one that is sprung in both directions, meaning it doesnt stay in position,  rather it springs back to the centre

I'm guessing that it needs only 2 positions.  I've found one of those, and it has 6 lugs underneath. Would that be the one i want ?

If you have a continuity setting on the multimeter. The centre pins are the common terminals, so one probe on one of those. pick and end for the other probe. test the continuity. Swap the probe to the other end and test again. Then do the other side...
