What is a simple test to distinguish between an aliphatic compound and an aromatic compound?

Huckels rule. 4n + 2 whereby n is any integer for example 1,2,3 etc. Aromatic compounds will obey huckels rule:- (4 x (1)) + 2 = 6 (4 x (2)) + 2 = 10 (4 x (3)) + 2 = 14 Taking benzene as an example...is it aromatic? Is a six membered ring with 3 double bonds, so 6pi electrons thus obeys huckels rule and is aromatic. Negative charges also count as 2pi electrons and positive charges on a molecule are ignored entirely.
