The causes of its occurrence largely correspond to the human factor. With this, many studies are carried out to examine the main determinants underlying human behavior in traffic and more specifically, risk behaviors. The use of questionnaires to relate personality traits and other characteristics are widely used to investigate this type of behavior. This paper aims to present the steps performed during the development of a questionnaire to investigate risk behaviors, including qualitative and quantitative analyzes. Through pilot tests, it was possible to evaluate the comprehension of the questions as well as the reliability of the scale with the Cronbach{\textquoteright}s alpha test. At the end of all steps, the questionnaire reached satisfactory results that made it suitable for application to the final sample.
