How to find out Hybridization of a compound?

A doubled bonded carbon in organic compound is sp2 hybridised while a triple bonded carbon is sp hybridised. Identify the double bonded carbons and triple bonded carbons and write sp2 and sp hybridizations on carbon atoms the remaining carbons are sp3 hybridised.
observe the following example:
carbon 3 and 6 are in sp3 hybridization
the only exception is a carbon attached to two double bonds on both sides is sp hybridised
