I want to map a subdirectory (NOT a subdomain) of my site to wordpress.com

Is this possible?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Due to your username choice I am posting the following information for you to consider.
There is no upgrade, aside from a VIP hosting upgrade http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ that you can purchase that allows blogger initiated advertising on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. You will have to hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install to run your own advertising.
There is only one advertising program called WordAds at WordPress.com and it’s for blogs on their own domains. Aside from a blog being accepted into WordAds http://www.wordads.co/ no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.com blogs.
E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by WordPress.com. Paid content and/or sponsored content is not allowed.

oops! I typed this:
“Due to your username choice …”
I meant type this:
“Due to the automatically posted URL in OP which is http://websmarketingtest.wordpress.com/ …” -
You can map a subdomain ( subdomain.domain.tld ) to WP, but you cannot a directory ( domain.tld/directory ).

I can’t give up http://www.mydomain.com to wordpress.com. Ideally what I would like is http://www.mydomain.com/some-path to be hosted on wordpress.com. Is this possible?

What’s possible is stated here and if it’s not there then it’s not possible > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
I hope you noted everything else I posted because WordPress.COM is not likely to be suitable for your intended use. You will be looking at hiring a web host and setting up a WordPress>ORG install.
