If you poke your head up in an attic on a day with a mild breeze the air should smell fresh and there should be noticeable air movement both felt and heard. If the air smells stale or there's black mold on the underside of the roof decking then the attic does not have sufficient ventilation. Current code requirements are for a sofit vent every 48".
Today is a great day to be discussing attic insulation, I have a simple way for anyone to evaluate whether they should consider upgrading. Go outside, look at the roof, if it has no snow on it the heat from the home escaping into the attic has melted it off.
