Which intervals and chords are the hardest for you identify?

For me it seems like I have the most difficulty with the 4th and 5th interval because they sound very similar to me, and as far as chords I would say the diminished and augmented chords give me the most trouble. What do you find difficult?

Major vs Minor Seconds (lessons 13 onwards) seem almost impossible at this stage. Persevering…

If it's set to ascending and descending, then that would be telling apart minor 9th and major 7th / 14th. Both a semitone away from the root.

For chords that would be telling apart sus2 and sus4. Telling apart dim7 and min7b5 seems to be about which one has more of a "pull" (the dim7). min / maj 7 is basically "James bond".
