Rails get type of all objects in array

I feel like this is a pretty basic question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Say I have an array of various things

things = [
  false,
  #<Product:0x007fc58a2d9ef0>,
  12,
  "some text"
]

Is there a way I can print out the type of each of those? Something like:

things.each do |thing|
  = thing.type

As opposed to having to specifically check if each one is something with thing.is_a? String

Based on your comments, perhaps you want something like this:

things.select{|t| t.respond_to?(:base_class)}.each do |obj|
  #check obj.attr
end
