The Jedi Temple is monumental in scale. See those steps leading up to the statues near the entrance? They're not steps; they're landings. The little dots that look like ants are people. If you count carefully there are 12 flights of steps, broken by 11 intermediate landings between them, just to get up to the level where the enormous statues tower above you. Then there are a further 10 flights of shallower steps broken up by more landings to get up to the actual entrance level of the temple.
Clearly this is some sort of endurance test. Anyone who can make it up all those stairs is physically fit enough to be a Jedi.
