on which instrument?

Instrumento?

I am identfiying by the color of the chord, but when it comes to inversions of 7th I got more or less stuck: So my advice: Do it different (like sebastian suggests) and try to identify the single notes.

I do wish there were some tools to help us train on this. I'm absolutely awful at Inversionist. Still level 1, while level 8 in most other games. Does anybody have any recommendations for a tool or web series to improve on inversion hearing?
One positive thing is that when I 1st started with ToneGym, the chords in Inversionist just sounded like mush to my brain. Slowly I'm starting to be able to pick out the notes. Stick with it--try to hear the individual notes by singing them back. Slowly you'll start to get better at it. For now just think of it as a brain and ear training exercise.
I had to laugh when I read your post though, because I came here to make the same post :)

Try this: Play the root so you can hear the root of the chord. And then sing the chord tones if you can and try to hear which one is the bottom. If you can't sing the chord tones, then play them on a keyboard and then sing them. Eventually, you'll be able to sing the chord tones without the help of the keyboard.

Congratulations!!! Great job !!

Fantastic!

You sing a note you hear and then you sing a note a major third and/or a minor third above or below, at which point it should be easy to figure out which one sounds...if it sounds a minor third it's a diminished chord, if it sounds a major third it's augmented.

I've read and always thought of these words to describe them:

Aug – mysterious, dreamy, intriguing, thoughtful, curious
Dim – tense, uncomfortable, intense, anxious

Try making your own mind map/model of what they evoque. I know you said they sound dissonant, but it's not the same type of dissonance, you gotta get to know them better, as if they were your own friends. Takes a little time to establish a relationship. Look for examples in songs you know.

Diminished sounds more 'squeezed together' and is the more common cord often leading up to the tonic at the end of a piece or phrase.
Augmented doesn't appear in a major or nat. minor scale and sounds 'overly spread out'.

I'm pretty new myself, but I don't think there's any limit to how much you can play the games on the pro plan :)

You can practice 'til your ears bleed, if you want to! (Please don't do it, I swear you can reach diamond without spilling a single drop)

Congrats!

Congratulations!!

Outstanding achievement!
