The simple answer: test it. Try to run a current through it. Complicated: it's really complicated. It involves the quantum model of an atom and valence bands.

Is there something that is a non conductor and a non insulator?

No, a material cannot be both a non-conductor and a non-insulator. A non-conductor is a material that does not allow the flow of electric current, while an insulator is a material that minimizes the flow of electric current. If a material is not conducting electricity, it is considered an insulator.

How could you use your open circuit to test is a material is a conductor or insulator?

Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator
