set theFile to choose file  --pick a file
tell application "Finder"
        set theType to the file type of theFile
        set theCreator to the creator type of theFile
end tell

--with paths it would be:

tell application "Finder"
        set theType to the file type of file thePath
        set theCreator to the creator type of file thePath
end tell
