You're right. I've simplified it. Aparat of 'typeof' operator, 
'Array.isArray()' I need to cover 'null' case.

     function isTypeOf(obj, typeToCheck) {
         var type;

         if (arguments.length < 2) {
             throw new Error('[isTypeOf] requires two arguments');
         }

         type = typeToCheck.toLowerCase();

         if (type === 'null' && obj === null) {
             return 'null';
         }

         if (type === 'array' && Array.isArray(obj)) {
             return 'array';
         }

         return typeof obj === type;
     }
