Shikamaru did take down Hidan by his self. Hidan was part of the akatsuki, a group of s rank ninjas, i wouldn't consider Hidan not bright I would consider him out smarted. Shikamaru is easily considered a Jonin. He was even a proxy leader in the fourth great ninja war. I mean look at the other leaders many were kage, jonin that would become a kage, and really strong jonin. This alone puts him in the same category of a jonin!
