SQL 92 defines the following types:

CHARACTER, CHARACTER VARYING, BIT, BIT VARYING, NUMERIC, DECIMAL, INTEGER,
SMALLINT, FLOAT, REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION, DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP, and
INTERVAL

As far as I know, postgresql supports all those types. If you've gotten
used to using things like TINYINT, I'd recommend avoiding them unless you
REALLY need them, as they are fairly non-standard.
