tell application "Finder"

set this_item to the selection as alias

if kind of this_item is "folder" then

display dialog "It's a folder."

else

display dialog "It's a file."

end if

end tell

This assumes that all Finder items are either files or folders.

Also, the script would need to be modified to account for multiple items in the selection.
