Welp. While I agree with @Jacce and @Jou, I guess it could be fun to discuss what kind of exams there would be if they had one (which we know that canonically they don't).

I assume there would be much more unseen movement tests. Like, can you get from point A to point B without getting detected. Probably a good test to have since Jonins are probably the ones mostly sent to assassinate people.

I think much more emphasis would be put on combat too. Whereas Genin can still become Chunin if they lose, that was for practical purposes: They needed to be able to gauge when their team stood no chance and minimalize casualties. Jonin, who are sent on missions alone sometimes, would have to be very combat adept; no one would back them up on their solo missions.

Detection tests too. Whether or not you can sense an enemy. Without the eyes of a team scanning the area, you have to able to detect people yourself. Kakashi demonstrated this one several times, so I assume that all the Jonins need to be able to detect someone else's presence.

Their mind. I assume they must be very good at staving off interrogation. Jonin have to be able to take an immense amount of physical and psycological punishment. Maybe they have to in order to be realized as a Jonin.

People have been said to die in the Chunin Exams. I assume people might in the Jonin Exams (if the exams existed) too. Maybe teams of Chunin are the ones who face them in battle, so they're outnumbered, and victory is the only option.
