Try,

 $('[id^= "PostTypes"]', this); // if you want to find the elements that are descendants of this.

Or if you want to check if the current element is a match then you can use .is(selector):

$(this).is('[id^= "PostTypes"]'); //Check if this element is havind the id startswith PostTypes.

Example:

if($(this).is('[id^= "PostTypes"]')){
   //Current element starts with id PostTypes, do something with it.
}

I believe you want:

$('[id^="PostTypes"]', this)
