var values = Array.from({length: 10000}, (_, i) => i % 5 === 0 ? i % 3 === 0 : i % 2 ? i.toString() : i);

Tests:

typeof value === "boolean"
let bools = 0; for (let i = 0; i < values.length; i++) { const value = values[i]; if (typeof value === "boolean") { bools++; } }
value === true || value === false
let bools = 0; for (let i = 0; i < values.length; i++) { const value = values[i]; if (value === true || value === false) { bools++; } }
