Please read this excerpt from brother Joseph's article below(bold font added by me). I also suggest you read the whole article Insha'Allah it will be beneficial[1].
OTHER TRAITS OF THE JINN
The Jinn have free will, volition and therefore subject to appropriate answerability. (7:179, 55:39, 6:128).
They have the ability to discern truth (72:2) from falsehood (72:4) and understand that they will be judged (72:14-15).
Interaction between the two creations (man and jinn) is recognised by the Quran. Despite providing useful benefits as in the case of Prophet Solomon (34:13, 27:39-40), a negative connotation to the interaction seems to attract more prominent emphasis (6:128).
Each creation (humankind and jinn) has been sent its own guidance (rusulun minkum - 6:130). Therefore, there is no warrant for the understanding that human messengers were also sent for the Jinn's guidance. Although the Quran acknowledges an incident (72:1, 46:29) where the Jinn listened to (istama'a) a recitation of the Quran, this incident consisting of a mere group (nafarun 72:1) seems to be narrated as an exception rather than a rule. Certainly the Prophet had no expectation that any such creation would be privy to his recitation until he was informed after the event (uhiya ilayya - It has been revealed to me, 72:1).
The ability of the Jinn to continue their progeny (dhurriyati - 18:50) has also been acknowledged by the Quran. This need not be restrictively understood in a human procreative sense. Different creations (42:29) throughout the Universe can implicitly have their own manner of reproduction.
The Jinn live and die (46:18).
They are a separate creation from mankind (15:26-27) and the angels (34:40-41).
There exists good and evil amongst them and they abide in divergent sects / ways (72:11).
They have no knowledge of the future (72:10).
