John-Luke, good explanation. Fundamentally, reviewing three notes is never adequate to determine the exact chord type and inversion. Other instruments (e.g. bass), and previous musical passages leading up to the specific chord help to establish this as well.

Once you get away from major diatonic scales, the rules are not so much 'rules' anymore.
