Not trying to improve on Reed's comments, theres a little trick I find
useful when trying to categorize an interval just by memory. It is to
memorize bits of familiar tunes where you know the interval occours. You can
have a tune bit for every interval (2nds are trivial, but wider intervals
become trickier). For instance if you need, say, a perfect 4th Beethoven 9th
has some well known parts you can use as mnemonic. The #4th is more uncommon
but I have one: the first two notes of The Simpsons theme... (The
Siiiimp...).
