Classification of 9th, 11th, and 13th intervals by consonance and dissonance?

An interval is classified by its consonance or dissonance: as an open consonance (unison, perfect fifth, octave), a soft consonance (major and minor third and sixth), mild dissonance (major second and minor seventh), sharp dissonance (minor second and major seventh), ambiguous (perfect fourth), or restless (tritone). How are minor, major, and augmented ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth intervals classified with respect to consonance and dissonance?
