Single-Pole:
Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 2 wires connected to
two screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you
have a Single-Pole switch.
3-Way:
Look at the back of your switch. If
there are 3 wires connected to three
screw terminals (not including a
green or bare copper wire used for
grounding), you have a 3-Way switch.
Note that one of the screw terminals
will usually be a different color (black)
or labeled Common. Tag that wire
with electrical tape to identify.
