You could use the following (only works if the list is global and not partitioned). It creates a table that contains all types and how often they appear on the list in descending order. Thus, if the result table is not empty, the first cell contains the most commen type.

Table result = Table.query("SELECT Type, COUNT(Type) AS NumOfType FROM List1 GROUP BY Type ORDER BY NumOfType DESC");
if(result.numRows > 0) {
    return result[1][1];
}
return 0;
