    A characterization of when two sets in \([0,1]\) can be separated by ambivalent sets is shown. Two applications to some proofs of known theorems are presented. In particular it is proved that for disjoint subsets \(A\), \(B\) the following conditions are equivalent: (i) \(A\) and \(B\) can be separated by ambivalent sets, (ii) \(A\) and \(B\) can be separated by a Baire 1 function, (iii) there is no perfect set \(K\) such that both \(A\) and \(B\) are dense in \(K\).
