The answer

The jinn are commanded (by God) and will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment, just like humans. Whoever among them obeys will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys will enter Hell, as stated in the Almighty's saying: "And the jinn certainly know that they will be brought [for judgment]" (Surat As-Saffat/158), meaning for accountability. As for how their deeds are recorded, that is an unseen matter about which Allah has not informed us. The verses related to the recording of deeds pertain to humans, not jinn, such as the Almighty's saying: "But indeed, [appointed] over you are guardians, noble recorders, who know whatever you do" (Surat Al-Infitar/10-12).
