It it gives too much it might be over ripe.
Hassle Avocados should be dark green, if they're nearly black they might be
over ripe.

From Google, didn't know. Another test
Use the Stem Trick
Gently try to flick off the small stem cap on the top of the avocado.
If the stem comes off easily and reveals a bright green color underneath, the avocado is perfectly ripe.
If there is resistance or the color is brown, the avocado is not yet ripe or is overripe.
