1NT: NON-Forcing, Invitational or Forcing?

Let's play a game. The name of the game is "Over 1NT: Non-Forcing, Invitational or Forcing?"

I will give you a bid and you have to tell me whether or not it is a Non-Forcing bid (Partner must Pass the bid), an Invitational bid (Partner should bid if they are maximum for their 1NT opener but Pass if they are minimum) or a Forcing bid (Partner MUST bid again)

This post is easy enough that brand new players should be able to answer all the questions. However, for my more advanced students, I talk about Jacoby Transfers and also Texas. If you do not know what those bids are just ignore the stuff in brackets. You do not need to know what they are.
