Being Chunin is about your ability to get through missions with most of the objectives completed and with your teammates alive. I think being Jonin is about being able to do above things but also analyze very said mission and adjust your goals by looking at what people are doing and why they are doing it. Example: Kakashi seeing through Tazuna's bull crap and getting down to the real reason he wanted bodyguards. Its probably why Shikaimaru was promoted over his much stronger peers, his analytical skills make him a potential candidate for Jonin ranking s well. To be of Jonin rank is to say your are strong/elite in both mind and body and thus that saying about mind and body after Sasuke and co passed the 2nd exam.
