 * Do you want the ID of a category assigned to a post that is of a custom post 
   type? Post types themselves don’t have numerical ID’s like taxonomies (unless
   I’m mistaken).
 * To get the custom post type of the current/a specified post, you can use `get_post_type()`:
 * [Function Reference/get post type](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_type)
 * If you want an actual object to work with:
 * [Function Reference/get post type object](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_type_object)
