why do I need to put in the full path?

another executable named test exists in your path,

which is used for shell scripting and stuff

No, as 'which' shows, the test in his $PATH is ./test.  However test  

is a builtin in many recent shells: man builtin.

You are correct.  Just changing the name solved the problem.
