Default TypeName function

Why does the last message box return FALSE when testing a cell for a string?
I have the same problem checking for numeric values such as Double.

Sub Test()
'The active cell contains the string "ABC"
MsgBox (ActiveCell.Value) 'Displays 'ABC'
MsgBox (TypeName(ActiveCell.Value)) 'Displays 'String'
MsgBox (TypeName(ActiveCell.Value) = "string") 'Displays 'FALSE'
End Sub
